Life starts when the baby comes out of the mother and starts breathing. Anything before that, the baby is not breathing on its own and is on life support inside the mother.
So in other words, because terri schievo had brain waves, they should have kept her alive like a vegetable forever? Hmmm... And you all say that torture isn't ingrained into America's values?
"That would be where the issue of "viability" comes in, since a premmie can survive at a certain point in time." So when the baby is pulled out prematurely, that's when it's life begins.
"We, of the age of majority, have the opportunity to sign Advanced Directives in order not to complicate the issue." As with everything in the US, there were people going to court to try to force her to stay a vegetable forever. Like abortion, gay marriage and legal pot, Americans like to try to tell other people how to live, because you think it's "freedom" to take away other people's rights.
1.) So when the baby is pulled out prematurely, that's when it's life begins -- or ends.
2.) Not arguing for the force. Just saying, we should make an effort not to put others in the position of making such decisions, family or otherwise.
