Platons = wisdom. Viņa rūpals bija saprast lietu būtību, nevis pētīt niekus. Nieku pētīšana ir priekš tādiem mazattīstītiem tipiņiem kā tu. Tieši uzdūros nesen labam citātam šajā kontekstā:
I think the notion that abortion is murder is purely Platonic in nature, and thus religious in esence. Christian thought, being inspired by Hellenism in many places to begin with, has an instinctive understanding that human "nature" comprises the whole gamut of the existence of a human individual, from inception to death, because human nature is not the "state" of a given human individual at any particular moment of its existence but the human "form" as a whole in which every human life partakes by virtue of being human.
By killing a fetus, you are not just killing a non-sentient "clump of cells" (assuming for the sake of argument that is even the case), but you are cutting off the entire "destinity" of a human life in the making, its future existence and future personhood. It's not like that "clump of cells" has the potential to turn into something other than a human being. It's not going to spontaneously turn into a dog, or remain a clump a cells indefinitely. It's destined to mature into a full fledged human life.
According to the logic used by the secularists, murdering a human child would be less of a crime than murdering a full grown adult, for a human child is much less developed, less intelligent and less capable than an adult, and certainly less valuable to society. Somehow though our moral sense finds the death of a child more tragic than that of an adult, precisely because the amount of "life" lost in the death of a child is greater than that lost at the death of, say, a 40 years old. The 40 years old at least got to live for an extend of time, where as the child was denied much more. "He or she still had so much life ahead of them". Is that not what we say?Nopūsties:
