Why is it wrong? If people were given the option to grow spare body parts on their arm for accident victims and be compensated for it would you be against that?

because your killing a life at that point. for what? greed.

your still killing a life if you have an abortion shortly after you get pregnant....

but consciousness is not developed then. so i believe the baby doesn't quite feel pain.

I'm assuming you are pro-life and the question wasn't really meant for you. However Aquaman said he was pro-choice which is why I asked.

It's one thing to grow a body part but it's a whole nothing thing to abort a fetus just for "science". Unfortuanely such results have been used before (Nazi concentration camp experiments & Biological warfare experiments form Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese army).

If we begin a "body parts" industry.......... this will really exploit poor people.

Also as mentioned above.......... it's one thing to abort an unwanted child but it's a whole other thing to do it and get paid for it.

Just my opinion.

I'm confused now. Are you pro-choice or not? Because if so there should be no arguement because there is no difference. It is not a life. Either that or you advocate killing people? Which is it?

let's turn this situation around a bit....

if you were paid to have sex with this girl and her get pregnant for 20 weeks and then get an abortion...

for the cause of science....

what would be your opinion on it?
Click to expand...

that's totally different. i'd be having sex with the intention of getting her pregnant. it's completely planned and i'd never agree to it in the first place.

thanks for giving your opinion to the question asked!
 
I'd have no problem with it, it's just a lump of cells. I'd be glad to volunteer my services to the program, as well 😉
 
there is already enough abortions to fill the need for any research. and there is already enough in-vitro fertilization to fill the need for all stem cell research.

edit: it just needs to be legal....
 
very good post tomato....

im gonna have to think about this and get back to you (hopefully i won't forget about this thread! hahaha).

@ 20 weeks?

Week 2 Conception is the moment at which the sperm penetrates the ovum. Once fertilized it is called a zygote, until it reaches the uterus 3-4 days later.

1st trimester

Week 4 The embryo may float freely in the uterus for about 48 hours before implanting. Upon implantation, complex connections between the mother and embryo develop to form the placenta.

Week 6 The embryo is about 1/5 of an inch in length. A primitive heart is beating. Head, mouth, liver, and intestines begin to take shape.

Week 10 The embryo is now about 1 inch in length. Facial features, limbs, hands feet fingers and toes become apparent. The nervous system is responsive and many of the internal organs begin to function.

Week 14 The fetus is now 3 inches long and weighs almost an ounce. The muscles begin to develop and sex organs form. Eyelids, fingernails, and toenails also form. The child's spontaneous movements can be observed.

2nd trimester

Week 18 The fetus is now about 5 inches long. The child blinks, grasps, and moves her mouth. Hair grows on the head and body.

Week 22 The fetus now weighs approximately 1/2 a pound and spans about 10 inches from head to toe. Sweat glands develop, and the external skin has turned from transparent to opaque.

only four - six weeks to having a good chance of surviving outside the womb:

Week 26 The fetus can now inhale, exhale and even cry. Eyes have completely formed, and the tongue has developed taste buds. Under intensive medical care the fetus has a over a 50% chance of surviving outside the womb.

3rd trimester

Week 30 The fetus is usually capable of living outside the womb and would be considered premature at birth.

Week 40 This marks the end of the normal gestational period. The child is now ready to live in outside of his mother's womb.
 
I'm definitely pro-choice, but I think this crosses the line from giving a woman control of her body to engaging in irresponsible behaviour for the purposes of profit.

Then again, if there were any way to be quite certain, I would be against abortions used as serial birth control, too.

How would it be irresponsible?
 
Sure, why not. You grow the cells, you sell them. The question is, do you have a problem with someone selling blood? Sperm? Eggs? What if the eggs or sperm die?
 
I don't see how it could be neccesary as long as abortion is legal - there are plenty of clinics that perform abortions already that should have fetuses they need to get rid of.
