Well, hey... here is an even MORE boring rehash:
I define life as someone who has to pay bills and put food on the table.
That's a
life in progress. A fetus, a newborn, a toddler? Mindless human luggage.
Cute but useless.
If we took better care of ourselves, we could take better of our diaper-filling baggage.
YOUR life is in progress. What is more valuable? You or some translucent Cheeto-shaped fetus that hasn't done anything yet?
Maybe a fetus is just human-shaped beefaroni.
...
I know it isn't necessarily related, but what the hell is with the divine human superiority complex? We spay/neuter/castrate/butcher every other species on a whim without thought. We club baby seals, eat veal, etc.
How are humans worth more than any other creature?
We're all bits of skin.
