Hi guys.During one of many discussions about abortion ive noticed that in my point of view the life of a human being begins with creation of zygote, and that is very "catholic like" which is pretty…Continue

Hi guys.Ive got one question, I dont want to be cynical or anything like that, im just a little bit of utilitarian. Charities worldwide are helping in a variety of problems, but the question is why would you help for example people with rare diseases etc. instead of helping people starving to death. With the money you use to save, or even just make one sick person suffer less, you could feed lots of people till natural death. Maybe its just me but i see no point in giving money to such…See More
Tommy replied to Richard Lennox's discussion The begining of life"I know, i wasnt referring to zygote in a bedsheet ;)
its just..why would we see a diploid cel as life worth preserving and a haploid cel(wich most bedsheets are full ;) )with for example, not..
at least thats what i would wonder if some1 argumented…"
Richard Lennox replied to Richard Lennox's discussion The begining of life"Zygote is both male and female reproductive cells conected together so there arent any on your bedsheets nor you kill them massively (at least i hope so -.-) In my opinion making up strict borders when life is "worth" preserving and when…"
Tommy replied to Richard Lennox's discussion The begining of life"To answer this we would need a consistent logical definition of life..and there isnt such a thing yet imo

but when do…"
Lithoniel Rain replied to Richard Lennox's discussion The begining of life"I would say that human life begins at birth. However, concerning abortion I'd say third trimester is definitely too late to abort..plus they had 6 months to do it already so might as well just go through with it. I suppose I would give…"

Tim Young replied to Tim Young's discussion Being right"Well I AM essentially talking about opinion. Because really - that is all there is.
Even if everyone on the earth agrees on something does that make it a fact or does that just mean they share the same opinion?"
Tim Young replied to Tim Young's discussion Being right"Yes I agree open-mindedness is of paramount importance. Even if you think you know all there is to know about something it pays to stay open minded about the possibility of new information on that subject coming to light."

Tim Young posted a discussionBeing right
In a sense I want to blow up the words “right” and “wrong”. I want to banish them from my vocabulary.More specifically I do not ever wish to BE right.And I do not ever want to say to someone else “you are WRONG”. What is the purpose of being or proving oneself to be, right? And what is the purpose of proving someone else is wrong?Apart from some sort of ego based sense of satisfaction what is the purpose of these things? Can anyone give me an answer to this question? If someone says something…See More
