Hey, a new game. My liberal catholic friends and I are having a great time thinking of practical examples of what would happen if the Catholic effort to say one cell is and has all the rights and priviledges of any other person.
Just a few to start with, realizing at present almost no law reconizes one or a few cells as a person'
Can a woman who is 6 weeks pregnant count the fetus as a tax deduction?
Should 6 week old fetuses be counted in the census? If not why not, if they are the same as me?
Should birthdays be eliminated in favorof conception day? After all I was just as much a person on day one as nine months later
Should medicare eligilbility be 65 or changed to 64 and 3 months? After all I have been a "full person" for 64.3 months and 9 months which equals 65.
If I leave my estate to my " sons", I die and my wife has twin boys 3 moths later can the latter sue for part of the estate?
If a women has 4 miscarriages and 6 children, should she not be reported as having 10 children in government figures?
Should not life expectancy reflect all deaths from date of conception?
Should a 17 year, 3 month old person be allow consensual sex, since they are actually 18 years old?
Read "Gulliver's Travels" about the people who carried heavy bags on their backs of many objects, so they could show the object when talking rather than shortening their lives by wasting energy speaking.
And, of course, the biggie; never answered during my life. Man kills wife. Sentenced to death. Woman has abortion in fourth week. Catholics say "MURDER." Her punishment today. She goes to retreat sponsored by Church to lessen her feeling of guilt after Church has accused her of murder. YOU FIGURE. Jack
