Grip of Death

Howdy Everyone. Making another topic is so much fun around here, isn't it? xd

Here, I present to you an imaginary yet probably revolutionary invention: it is an incubation contraption.

Imagine such a device would imitate a woman's womb. It would be a place for a developing embryo/fetus to incubate into term. It would of course occur outside of a woman's body! Any woman who desired not incubating the embryo/fetus inside of her can have it done in a machine. Any woman who did not care about the fate of her developing unborn could just take it out of her body and someone who cared could allow it to develop fully and safely inside of a machine. (Oh, technology these days) wink

anyway, the implications of such a machine's existance would have a profound effect on the abortion debates.

What are YOUR thoughts on such a machine? Do you think it could bridge the gaps between the pro-life and pro-choice positions? Or make it worse?

you will hear mine in a seperate post smile

Not a good idea. Aldous Huxley in his chilling book Brave New World (which was inspired BTW by Sangers breakthrough invention of Birth Control) talks about this. And people started to condition other people to set standards in life.

The Alpha's were the highest class and the Gamma or Epsilons or something was the lowest class. Anyway, take the child out of the mother and into the machine and you don't know where Humanity is going. Besides how much control do you want to give to the Machines anyway? Matrix anyone? *shiver*

So, kp, just to clarify, you're against this type of machine because of the aspect that machines appear to control our lives?

Personally, I can't understand why this idea doesn't work for all positions on abortion. All I care about is the life. I don't care if it's brought up in an incubator, it doesn't matter if it's nurtured by a machine-- The life is still the same. The human, and its realness, is still the same.

Perhaps one of my fellow lifers here can explain it to me. Because I thought that being pro-life was about the preservation of life, not the quality of how the child is being brought up.
