The debate about killing a human life being against morality stems from the fact that we dislike the idea of killing another sentient being. Many people have no qualms about going out and killing a rabbit, a boar, a cow. That was a living being animal, but was it wrong it kill it? Modern society suggests that so long as we are humane in how we kill this non-sentient animal then it doesn't matter that it was a living being animal. Now what would happen if that animal you killed happened to be the next step in that animals evolution towards becoming sentient. Was it then wrong to kill that animal? Again, modern society would say "It was just a dumb animal, it was killed humanely".

So at what point does an embryo/feotus/baby become a sentient being?

The argument that an embryo will further develop is a moot point. At the stage of an embryo, if labour was induced, would the embryo survive? at the stage of a feotus if labour were induced, would it survive? Assuming that it did survive, would it be sentient or just a "dumb animal".

If a female is raped, and conceived because of it, is it right for her to have to suffer all of the risks intrinsic in carrying a baby because she was the victim of a crime. You are saying that adoption is a viable alternative, so is it right then that she will have to suffer pain and discomfort for months because of the rape?

SD stated in post 20 that sex even with contraception should be an at your own risk experience. It is possible to take reasonable precautions and for the precautions to fail. If I then have to bring into this world a baby that I'm not prepared to support, that my partner was not ready to give birth to, then is it wrong for this embryo to be brought into the world.

On a side note, I find your post at 13 very amusing avogadro. You state "Any objective, educated individual would classify a fetus as a living human being...". So basically, if we disagree with your point of view we are not objective and we are uneducated?

Happy birthday lil bro

Normal people don't deal with this alone. You need to find someone to talk to about it, someone to bounce your ideas off of. Self harm is not the answer, drugs only mask the problem as does alcohol. Do you have a doctor that you could talk to about it? Sometimes your GP can be a great person to talk to about these things, being all bound by doctor patient confidentiality and all that. Without knowing more about your situation I probably can't give any further advice then that.

Congrats mate, you are highly deserving of your new post!

For my two cents worth in this matter I agree with Zarf, it is a simple matter. A contract is in place, just because someone thinks the contract is a bad idea once the contract has been agreed to it is a binding document. The wording of the contract was slightly ambiguous as to what action would be taken in the event of a break, however. If you are worried about the issue of a whole fam being deleted because one person goes rogue and attacks an NAPd fam you can always delete each player involved in the NAP breach.

I don't believe that one person outside of the event should be able to repeal the contract purely because they deem it to be a bad deal, both families knowingly entered into that deal, they knew the consequences and entered into the contract knowing that there is always a possibility of a family member going rogue and voiding an NAP.

If the family did complain after being deleted, look at it this way. It would be the same as complaining about getting a speeding ticket. You did the wrong thing, you suffer the appropriate penalty.

Yes, yes it does Glue. There is a thread in bugs.

Belated happy birthdayness

Hydro-geothermal. There are enough "hot rocks" to power Australia for about 7500 years at current consumption of electricity. With that being the case we can remove some of our dependance on oil.

On the original post, we use oil in cosmetics aswell, not just our cars!
