As I recall, even born babies have few if any rights'.
Just Mom Dad and the courts. A newborn has no say.
Meaning, others choose if IT lives or died.
BTW: Did you know back in the old days, 1776-1905.
Babies were used to fighting off wolfs. So the others
could get away. That's good old, old family value is
somethang back thang.
In a civilized society, the most innocent and vulnerable among us are protected, so why advocate barbarism because people did it in the past? Slavery was also legal at one point, and it was based on the same mentality that some lives are worth less than others.
It's actually better for all of us to recognize the rights of the weakest and most vulnerable ... instead of declaring that some people are less worthy than others. That is the ethical premise of the Declaration of Independence, which says that "all men are created equal."
