The only reason an abortion should be allowed is if the baby would die."

"A fetal heartbeat is not a heartbeat, Ambassador. It is just a flutter within the section where the heart of the fetus will form in the future - the future pacemaker, discharging electricity. The lungs of the fetus do not begin functioning until the third trimester, and the vernix does not shed until around 36 to 40 weeks into the pregnancy. If the baby can not live outside of its mother for a period of time, then is it truly correct to call it alive? After all, it's as good as dead if it's born 6 weeks into the pregnancy."Fluvannia wrote:

"Technically, *I'M* confined to a machine. The important distinction here is whether the hypothetical individual you speak of retains their cognitive capacity. That distinction tends to be a major deciding factor in determining life or death, as we do employ the concept of brain-death in medical terminology on a routine basis."
