Yes, I know how pregnancy is, I have 2 beautiful daughters (yah 23 is young but yah...) I was with my girlfriend through the whole thing and I saw how hard it is, yet at the same time ,although woman have to go throught that during a pregnancy, I don't believe that that should give the justification to end a human life. To be fully honest when it's your baby you see being born (as grosse as the procedures on t.v look) it'sa beautiful; thing that was worth the whole 9 months of pains,ect (from her perspective). Human life is precious, it's just that we take it for granted. also how do we know that they baby doesn't have a concept of what life is? Brain waives start (and correct me if I'm wrong) around 6 weeks (though limited) into the pregnancy. Now I look at it from a spiritual aspect which alot of people don't, being a huge reason why I think that life is precious. I believe we all have souls.

It's true we don't know when or if a baby develops a concept of life, but you could argue it has a primal concept of life, on the level of any other non-human fetus.
But I think perception of life and death on the same conceptual level as a human, takes place outside the womb, in the human world, with a concious introspective level of thought. Death is only horrible if you think "I'm dying", do you think fetuses think that or just feel pain and panic?
Materialistically speaking there's no intristic value, nothing precious about life, we're just a reaction. Souls are unproven.
If you believe in souls, can't they find another body? What do you believe about souls?
