If abortion is right "because a foetus is not self-aware", it must also be everyone's right to kill unconscious people

This was a question posted in Facebook. It is morally controversial, so yes, apparently, it's garnered lotsa different opinions.


I think it's grey because there's different definitions of life. Some opinions in Facebook have stated that 6 months is a cut-off period for a definition of a life. One argued about "seperateness" - foetus is in your body, vs a stranger lying somewhere in a hospital bed. I just have 2 questions:


- Does tat mean that if u cheat on your partner and it's guaranteed that he/she does not find out (unconscious)....that this gives u a reason to cheat?

- Also, 2 people sleeping (unconscious). One is a friend, one is not. Is it ok to kill the stranger? They don't know any better right? This second scenario is to test the "seperateness theory.



I think this question is good because it creates a moral fence and I think, yes, u hv to choose which camp u're in. Granted there are grey areas like if the foetus is seriously deformed, pdt of rape, etc. In grey cases, a moral consensus from parties involved is needed i guess.
