So, should we lay eggs?

is live birth less efficient?
YamiBattousai
May 9 2004, 11:01 AM
I would say that live birth is less efficient... Since the mother must carry around all the weight of the baby when if it were in egg the mother wouldn't have to carry it around all the time... we could keep babies in incubators

Yes, from an anthropological stance, the Live births have been slightly oppressive to the females, generalized as children bearers and not much else

Eggs would be better but it would be impossible for a human to lay eggs...
BloodyStupid
May 13 2004, 12:26 PM
The point of the debate is that we're assuming it's not impossible.
Why not? Not like frogs, more like chickens. If human females had a chicken's reproductive system...
Personally I would prefer to be like a cat. Cats don't ovulate until after mating... In layman's terms, no menstruation.
That really has nothing to do with abortion, but I could dig the no period part.

Yea, maybe some day generations ahead humans will lay eggs though i doubt it

i find that rather impossible because it seems to me that our race has been going thousands of years without evolving at all....i think that we our the top of the line in species, and i don't see how we could all-of-a-sudden start evolving again...and....start....laying..........eggs.....? i gotta admit....that'd be pretty dang cool tho!!!!.....

We haven't evolved because of the reletivity of evolution, we take care of our own needs with technology and don't need adaptations.

Back to Abortion... the fetus is a collection of cells unable to think, sense, etc. it's termination would result in saving a billion calories that could be given to an already needing INDIVIDUAL.

ah, Melgoa, glad to see you back
back on topic, though, I think you have to consider the situation. Sometimes that child being aborted was the result of a consentual event, but maybe it wasn't...at any rate allowing it to some doesn't allow you to deny it to others, so, while it can be misused, I would say I'm pro abortion for now

I agree. Aborting or taking the "morning after" pill is different, cause the baby doesnt even have a change (

). But letting the baby grow, giving it food, puking, whatever, then aborting 2 days before birth? I mean, that is murder.
As the post says:
"If you killed today, it would be murder. If you killed her yesterday, it would be abortion."

One word: Condom.
You know, if condoms were like indestructable, it would really save a lot of space. I mean, ValleyView is way to overcrowded (and city kids are coming in and messing up everything. I hate people who live out stereotypes).

another thing Third trimester is murder not abortin but hey you have to have the baby if you waited THAT long. any wayyyy ther are not PLENTY there are FEW i mean acondom does not protect from anal or testicular herpes (sorry for being so blunt (no pun intended)) or HIV for that matter. but it does prettey much take care of every thing else. At least if its used correctly. but then theres the reflection of pregnacy it self being a deseaise.... a fetus IS a parasite! it feeds off of the mother which is parisitism. MEH!

My personal definition of 'sex'
Intercourse for pleasure.

how can u say that? the only difference between a fetus at early stages and one that had partial birth abortion is that its bigger and it grew more.....it's like a born baby and his dad, the dad is just bigger....
for you to say it's ok to kill it at early stages but not partial birth abortion is ridiculous...it's like saying u can kill your kid, but killing it's father is murder...
basing this type of thing on "but partial birth is just too sick to exist" is just wrong.....omg ewww it's gross we can see it it shouldn't be allowed......the same thing is happened to it if its in early stages! it's still in the same amount of pain when it dies....and yes it can friggin feel! it's a friggin human being for petes sake

So are you saying that if a man lived until the end of eternity, and he aquired so much knowlage and skill and wisdom and such that he became God (I think I read this in a book), that it is ok to kill him?
Dude, sperm is just an early stage of an old man waiting to die. A boy and a man are different, cause a man is a more developed boy. Also longer life (assuming life brings visible aging to physical body). Partial Birth Abortions are really sick, I have seen them (internet). Really sick. Hell, it would be a human being if it werent living off a tube. I bet that if we could see if they had brain capacity, they were already thinking.
Partial birth abortions and masterbation are totaly different. So is murder, but murder today was abortion yesterday.

For your information most abortion clinics are NONPROFIT organizations. That means they make no money. The baby products industry (food, clothing, toys, books, games, etc.) makes MILLIONS of dollars more PER COMPANY (think Gerber or Sesame Street) than the sale of abortion pills make TOTAL, because most abortion pills are generic. And if you were a female teenager who had been raped and was now 2 months pregnant, and the choices were raising a baby you never intended to have and losing the rest of high school and chances for college, or taking a pill that will destroy a grand total of 12 cells (you shed a LOT more skin cells than that while you SLEEP), if you had any sense at all you'd take the pill.
Oh yeah, and NO it CAN'T feel pain. To feel pain, one requires nerve endings. Without nerve endings, it is impossible to feel pain. When a fetus is only 8 cells large, the cells have not even begun to diversify yet. There are NO NERVE ENDINGS in a 'blob of stem cells'. Technically it hasn't even aquired the traits that make it human, so you know what? I don't think it is human.
