Politics? Pretty much. Every society has a different view (and argument) over when one becomes "human". There is even a reference in the Bible - Exodus 21:22-23. There, it says that if a woman is injured and miscarries, the person that struck her will be fined by the judges and the husband can assign a penalty. In most cases, throughout, the punishment for taking a life is death, so this indicates that, at least at THAT time, the fetus was not considered "human". Since it has to do with humanity, it gets complicated quickly. But then, so do political arguments (*smile*). Regards Dave Mundt |
