I will give an example:\nWhen is a baby first alive?

it isn't.  the country isn't split 50/50 over pedophilia, it isn't split over vigilante killing, it isn't split evenly over whether line-cutting at the supermarket is acceptable.  \n\nwhat you are talking about is the prominence given to issues that are undecided.  the simple reality is that individual behaviors are informed by social mores.  social mores are developed through multiple means, but in a purportedly democratic society, manifest consensus of opinion is necessary.  what you are referring to is the natural conflict of a society essaying to define the consensus on certain issues where social mores are ambiguous.  in response to the ambiguity and ambivalence, crusaders of a partisan agenda rally support for their cause in an effort to turn the tide.  as this happens on both sides in an ambiguous issue, conflict occurs.\n\nas for the definition of life issue--the force of the conflict results from the fact that many of our accepted values are actually in conflict, and this issue brings that fact into sharp relief.  it's kind of like doing a puzzle and realizing that you have a piece that cannot fit given the way the other pieces have been connected.  quite simply, averring the universal value of any biological entity expressing a particular genetic pattern does not mesh with the value placed upon creating harmony and reducing conflict within a social system (quite similar to the conflict evident around capital punishment).\n\nwhat has happened is that for thousands of years societal systems have insisted on the distinct, sancrosanct "specialness" of human beings in order to increase our survivability, and now we are beginning to learn that we are just a part of a larger system--a system whose survivability vastly exceeds our own in precedence.\nsince most individuals in our society are currently incapable of deconstructing the complex interplay of causality implicit in this theme, they mediate the conflict by relying on emotional judgments--which serves to further heighten the tension.

The basic thing about abortion is that it kills a living creature.  There can be no argument about that fact.

You have to say the starting value for n.  \nThe first value for n has to be given; it could be basically anything.

Wow. This question is very controversial. Lots of people believe that life begins at conception. Some say life does not begin until birth. I do know that a "fetus" can feel pain, suck its thumb, etc. At that point I say it's a baby. In fact, I consider it a baby from conception. There are scientific aspects, and then personal and religious aspects.\n\nWhat is your definition of human worth? Is an 8 year old child more worthy of living than a 37 year old person? How does one determine that? Each life is individual. I don't think you can put "worth" on a soul.\n\nSo, in my opinion a fetus IS human. It's not a "stage of development.\n\nHave fun with your responses, as I am sure you will get many.\n\nOh, and thanks for kick starting my brain!!!   :)

Instead of trying to explain it in text,\nI made a little file as an example.\nTry downloading this file.\nGood luck!

I would do something like this:\n\n* Similarities and differences among living organisms\n(For example, the characteristics of life, cells, comparing single and multicellular organisms)\n*Homeostasis in living things\n(Basic biochemical processes, Feedback systems, Disease)\n*Genetics\n(Heredity, Genes)\n*Reproduction and development\n(Cell division, reproduction among organisms)\n*Evolution\n(Theories)\n*Ecology\n(Interaction between organisms and their environments, energy flow)\n\nThese are just a few ideas.

i love loaded questions like this one... gets people thinking.... the fetus IS a person.  fetus and embryo are Latin words meaning young one and little one ... translation... BABY!  18 days after conception the heart begins beating... and if you ask me, if it has a beating heart it must be a life.  many people would be outraged if they saw someone cut dog or a cat into little pieces, yet those same people will deny that it is a baby even though the thing the abortionist removes has facial features, fingers and toes.  Good question.  if you would like more info on this topic please feel free to email me or contact me on messenger.

There are so many, it's hard to know where to start.  I guess I'd have to go with:\n\n"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?" —Florence, S.C., Jan. 11, 2000

A good example of an ethical dilemma would be a young girl who falls pregnant after beind raped and has to decide whether to keep the baby or not, knowing how it was conceived and the fact that she is not ready to have a child.  But what about the life of the unborn and innocent child?\n\nThat is what they call an ethical dilemma!
