abortions vs eating meat

['gravitate']

ok so i would never contemplate any of them but many of you on here do. so i ask which do you 'caring' people think is the most humane? i look forward to hearing some very hypocritical views.

[Gormless]

You're not right, are you.

[sara3]

is there a little on/off switch on your head?

[China Doll]

What an entirely sensible question with an excellent basis for comparrison. I can't think why you don't post in Science more often. They're lost without you.

Somewhere in this world, you existence is depriving a village idiot of oxygen.

gormless i am right handed yes. fool. are you feeling lonely tonight?

[dot.hawkes]

My son's GF has lost their baby this morning and so I am kinda not interested

['gravitate']

oh china I guess you do both without thinking then ha ha ha ha. thanks for that. one confirmation that people on this site have no morality of valued opinions

[China Doll]

Dotty, I'm sorry to hear that. Look after each other and best wishes.

[DaisyMae]

Do you know how many people come on this site?

How can you make such a judgement from the post of just one of those people?

I think that says more about you really.

[DaisyMae]

Sorry Dot, I didn't see your post. That is very sad.

['gravitate']

oh right im sorry about that doc. i hope they all are coping ok. sorry that this thread made you think about it. hope everything turns out ok

[sara3]

dot.. I'm sorry. I was hoping it would be better news x

[garner]

Dot..Sorry to hear your sad news, time heals you know.

[smudge]

I also know of women who have had miscarriages, including myself, so please don't post silly comparisons like this on here 'who-ever-you-are'.

Sorry to hear your news dotty.

[dot.hawkes]

It's ok gravy you weren't to know, thanks guys, it's been a rotten day

['gravitate']

my thread had nothing to do with miss carriages. it is to do with the difference of taking a un aware human life vs taking a aware animals life.

['gravitate']

dot i made a thread about you

[~Wingnut~]

Oh no Dot I'm so sorry to hear that! Strength to you all xxxx

Hi there gravitate.

This is actually a very interesting question but ultimately its a matter of personal choice.

I choose not to eat meat as i agree that the rearing of animals simply to provide a highly inefficient food source is inhumane and illogical. Its also unnecessary.

However I would also totally defend the right of a woman to end a pregnancy if it is their choice that this is the right thing for them to do. I believe the current abortion laws set the right level.

Farm animals have no rights nor any say in what happens to them though they are fully formed sentient beings. A fetus is not fully formed nor sentient until a very long way into the pregnancy. This is an essential difference and the reason your question does not make a realistic comparison.

I do realise that my views will inevitably upset some people and there are some who will argue vehemently against what i have said. Some may agree. That is the nature of a hypothetical debate.

I hope that this provides a more structured response to your question.

richard. i really relate to you on this subject. u have satisfied my thirst for some decent valued human being out there. i just seriously wish i could put my points of view across as you did without people thinking im 'winding them up'

but maybe it isnt my problem its just theirs. im an easy target you see with all my spelling mistakes
