Domanda da fare agli anti-abortisti

[topquark]

E' la seguente:

Avendo la possibilita' di scegliere fra le sole due opzioni, salveresti 1000 embrioni o un bambino di 5 anni?

It’s a thought experiment, so you don’t get to change the scenario. You have to pick one or the other.

That’s what makes it an interesting question. If you believe life begins at conception, and you believe women shouldn’t be allowed to have legal abortions because it’s the equivalent of murder, then this question shouldn’t give you even a moment’s pause. It’s the first part of the Trolley problem taken to an extreme, and it shouldn’t be complicated.

It’s not complicated for me. I would save the random five-year-old. Because embryos aren’t babies. Easy.

But how could anyone justify letting the kid die? [...]

Those with pro-life convictions should at least have the decency to be honest and say they’d let the child die. Even if it makes them look like monsters.

E' un quesito al quale nessun cattolico puo' rispondere ... non stà all' uomo decidere chi vive e chi muore ..

Ovvio che sceglierebbero i 1000 embrioni... che domande...

...la dottrina cattolica varia a seconda del contesto...

... basterebbe vedere come è cambiata la visone della pena di morte in due millenni...
