Sangha...no matter how many times you say the above...it falls on deaf pro-life ears.
It's amazing that Pro-life don't get the comparison between a brain dead child on life support (used to at last keep its body alive) and a 12 week old fetus, which 85% are aborted, also has no significant brain function and it's life support system is a uterus...without it....it can't survive.
I definitely think they sometimes artificially keep people alive too long - particularly when insurance is picking up the tab so doing so is profitable. There are many times where we treat the old and dying worse that we'd treat a sick old dog.
Also amazing is your not understanding the difference between a beginning and growing life and the end of life. Just amazing.
Why would I need to account for another person's argument when it has nothing to do with my own?
You don't but I don't have to limit my posts to discussing your arguments
you're ignoring a developing fetus is just that, developing. A person with significant brain damage, that is at the point of being "brain-dead" is not. Their state isn't part of normal development towards a healthy state.
It's a pretty simple distinction you will likely continue to ignore as you make your moronic-ass arguments and try to fill your day with meaning
the problem with your comment is that even the most rabid anti-abortionists agree that abortion is OK in the event the fetus is anencephalic.
Can you define "all the pro-choicers"?
I do not think this is accurate. Can you point to me where you got this information?
do you even know what anencephaly is?
When I google searched "Catholic Church and anencephaly" this is what came up.
From the US Conference of Catholic Bishops -Committee of Doctrine
(I think we can agree that they would qualify as "rabid-antiabortionists")
Anencephaly
So back up YOUR statement.
you replied to my post with the remark as if it had some bearing on it. Again, stop wasting peoples time panhandling for attention

Are you just about demeaning me - as if I do not know what anencephaly is - or do you want to back up your remarks?
I don't believe for a second that the abortion banners don't get the comparison. They get it alright but they're just too dishonest to acknowledge it.
As I asked in an earlier post, how many times have we heard "It's human, it's alive, it has unique DNA.....it's a person!!"? Now, all of a sudden, the abortion banners are pretending like their argument came from aliens that they've never encountered.
I think you did. State from the OP - or anything - what tests they have done and who did those.
you are demeaning yourself. you don't need any help from me.....
So, that is how you act when I show you proof that you are wrong.
Nice.
I wish I could say I expected more.
I already explained it. The fetus and the born person are in different stages of life that needs different things to stay alive. The fetuses connection with it's mother is a natural part of a human beings life cycle and is necessary for the fetus to stay alive and continue growing and developing. When a born person brain stops functioning the born person will die and there body will not longer function. If you maintain function with a machine there is nothing natural about it and the person is still very much dead.
Btw, 100% of born people die, so I guess if it's fine to abort a fetus because it might die anyway, it is perfectly fine to kill born people since they will all die anyway.

It has been found wanting.
Jahi's body is not a living organism. A corpse that used to be a human being is not a human being.
proof? what proof?
So what you are saying it that in your opinion it would be fine is someone, anyone really, went in the room and chopped her up with an ax - for there would be no criminal charge?

Under California law, declaring a patient brain dead requires two separate sets of tests by two different doctors, carried out at least 3 hours apart.
Thanks, Henrin. I've put this post in my "Favorites" folder...
What a great political slogan. If it takes a machine to maintain function ... the person is still very much dead. I'm sure that'd win elections: "All those old people on oxygen are very much dead. I vow we will stop sending social security payments to those dead old people."
Great criminal defense too. "My client could not have possibly murdered that 78 year old. His life was dependent upon an oxygen generator he was already dead - and you can't murder a dead person."
You're really on population control, aren't you? In a week you'd kill off millions Americans - because they are already "very much dead." And save billions on surgeries as most require those put a person dependent upon a machine during surgery - and it certainly then would make no sense to continue to do the surgery on a dead person.
I do not want to split hairs, but just so people are aware...many folks in ventilators have the ability to breath. It is a quantity and quality issue. A properly administered test for brain death under appropriate circumstances would be required to decide brain death. The apnea test is towards the end of the process of making that decision, not at the beginning.
If my child were brain dead, I would have no issue with the plug being pulled.
there was your first mistake.
