While some argue that life begins at conception, owing to the distinct DNA and potential for development, others assert that life starts at a later stage when the fetus can survive outside the womb.
Consider this, if we discovered a single-celled organism on Mars, wouldn't we proclaim we've found life? Yet, when it comes to a zygote, a multi-cellular organism in the womb with unique human DNA, why do we deny its life status?
Furthermore, the argument that women should have a choice is definitely valid. However, where do we draw the line for this choice? If it's okay to terminate a pregnancy because the baby wouldn't have a good life, could we extrapolate this to situations post-birth? For instance, if a woman gives birth but then realizes she cannot provide a good life for the child, would it then be acceptable to end the child's life?
It's a complex issue for sure. I would love to hear your thoughts on these counterpoints. Do you think there's a different solution or perhaps a middle ground that could satisfy both pro-life and pro-choice advocates?
