I don't mean legal rights. But if, as the anti choicers insist, 'morals are absolute regardless of the feelings of those involved'; then by what 'moral right' do parents have to create an individual who is doomed to a life of misery and suffering? | That's the thing.
I think people are getting to be so selfish about their own feelings they are willing to keep someone alive, regardless of the quality of that life, for their own emotional crutch.
We see it with people who won't let family die (ie. Terri Schiavo) and we see it in premature babies. |
