Document Summary
If science is about telling the truth then the lab should tell the truth and have the child killed. In a world where people are unaware of the hidden assumptions. Anti abortion arguments: life present from moment of conception, all cultured things are also alive (like bacteria) so am i a murderer if i kill bacteria, fetuses look like babies, so do dolls, fetuses have characteristic necessary to being human, skin cells have characteristic necessary to being human (same human dna) yet we kill plenty whenever we scratch ourselves, we"d have a problem killing cancer. Pro choice arguments: fetuses are not persons, cheat on whether a fetus is a person or not, fetuses are not rational, babies and people with severe dementia are not rational, fetuses are not social beings, same with you if you don"t have a lot of friends.
