RE: Conservativism And Fear of Chaos
I don't believe morals should change. The basics are in place already they just need to follow through with them. Religion is the problem. I am not religious as such but I do believe. That is enough for me. Religion has overstepped it's boundaries and is meddling too much. If one has to look at all the trouble in the world today most of it is down to some sort of dispute between religious groups. That tells me enough about religion and makes me sick that they are meant to be God fairing people.
It's the interpretation of moral principles where the difficulty lies. Think bioethics, for example. Termination of pregnancy is one such thorny issue where there are many principles at odds. It will only get thornier when full-on transhumanism becomes technologically feasible.
I have no problem with abortions. Why bring an unwanted child into the world.I know certain laws are changing regarding rape abortions. If someone is raped why must she be punished for the rest of her life having a child she didn't want. This is a reality that shouldn't even be an issue. I think the world has over complicated things.
What if the pregnancy is close to term and the baby practically fully developed? Few people are ok with killing babies. There is no exact line where a fetus turns into a baby. In most countries, the vast majority of abortions are done in the first trimester. I don't remember what the law says about it in Finland but it is legally viewed differently depending on the stage at which it is done. Also, many women say abortion hasn't been a simple thing to do on an emotional level. That issue is far from simple when you consider every type of case you may encounter.
Agreed. The longer it is in the process the harder it is. There has to be a cut off time.
A child can be given for adoption too.
That, too, can be quite problematic.
