A fetus technically is a human with most of the parts missing, so is a heart transplant or a strand of fallen out hair.
In practice though, during the usual period where abortion can happen a fetus is not much more human than a load of semen. Okay, it’s technically diploid, but still just a bunch of cells.
Refusing an abortion for the life of the “child” in the first few months is like refusing a heart transplant for the wellbeing of your original heart.
i meant a fetus is not just a human with a bunch of parts missing. there are other differences to go with that, like being way smaller and needing another person’s body to survive.
edit: for example, a fetus isn’t just an adult’s legs, while in the post, the “truck fetus” is the equivalent of that
and a child would be a pickup truck without the engine or what?
In this example a child would be a pickup truck.
i dont see how the adult pickup truck wouldn’t be a fully built one, since real children aren’t considered fully developed human beings
plus the pickup truck could be called elderly when it’s parts aren’t working as well.
This is where the metaphor breaks down. Cars don’t reproduce through sexual activity or experience a long period of maturity.
what makes you think a child is not a ful-fledged
humanautomobile?i was making fun of the post because a fetus or a child arent just adults with parts missing
