Living organ donation refers to the transplant of an organ in vivo, not post-mortem.

Kidneys are not on demand post-mortem, but in-vivo.


Oh, well, uh, guess I misunderstood that one.

There's a bit of a difference with pregnancy though, mainly, one's temporary, whereas the other is quite permanent.

Okay, now you're going overboard.

It only makes sense based on what you said:

Let them get blue balls/be aborted. She's acting in accordance with her autonomy.


Well, the difference is that in one scenario, the rejected person just doesn't get to have full sexual intercourse. In the other scenario, the rejected person dies.

As I've said, the right to life should take precedence over bodily autonomy.


People die every year for lack of organ donations that can be gotten from living donors.

I believe it is humane, because if the women doesn't have the means to provide for the child, or does but doesn't have the mental/emotional capabilities to be there for it, then the child will have suffered in life.

Pregnancy has permanent effects on the body.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Part of your liver grows back if removed.

Are mandatory live organ donation for livers permissible?

There are many temporary and permanent after effects and bodily changes post pregnancy.

As someone who's had a terrible experience with abortion I can say I'm glad it's legal. I'm a man, but as far as I know, it's always a hard choice for women. In my view, abortion is amoral.

Pre-quickening it's okay. Post-quickening it's hazy. Post-viability it'd be immoral if it wasn't due to some complication.

If the cells have developed to the point that the cells are viable then aborting it seems to be a waste.

Which would be after 22 weeks. Before that time the woman should know she's pregnant and be able to take the necessary steps to undergo an abortion and not be stalled until it's too late.

Actually, it wouldn't be a waste. I don't know to what extent, but embryos can be used for research purposed. Stem cell research actually relies on terminating embryos, but fewer people seem to whine about that, it seems..

Not necessarily. There are stem cells in the placenta, right?

No, actually, quite to the contrary, all I've gotten has been anologies, the "a fetus isn't a human so who cares" argument and the "womens' rights are more important than a damn parasite" argument. Well, if that's all your pro-abortion stance relies on, fine, ignore logic.
