Hitchens: Humanism and abortion.
Q&A part III of the Hitchens vs. Turek debate at VCU, VA.
Full debate:

@PooeyBum11 The ability to suffer is not the capacity that corresponds to the interest in life. The ability to suffer corresponds to the interest in not being treated cruelly for example.
A potential capacity for the experiences of personhood corresponds to the interest in life. We don't kill t...

@PooeyBum11 I'm not a vegetarian but I don't believe in holding the blameless responsible for the conduct of others. The dog is not creating a threat a to anyone. To me its no different than if someone said if you kill this random person they won't kill 5 others.

@PooeyBum11 Even if you have uncovered a personal bias I hold toward human babies, you haven't actually rebutted the potentiality argument itself. You've actually addressed an entirely separate point that I have a personal bias and that's why I am more inclined to believe what I do. That has no b...

@Paxmax Umm how is a miscarriage analogous to an elective abortion? People die of natural causes all the time and no one is prosecuted e.g. the sick and elderly.
So I see no inconsistency with accepting a natural miscarriage yet condemning an elective abortion.

@PooeyBum11 Well as I said in the previous two responses I think potential capacity is a morally relevant consideration even if it should not carry the same weight as actual capacities.
It would be wrong to kill any animal that has or has will have similar capacities to personhood. Perhaps its w...

@bradq: Law, commonsense and logic. All enforceable rights are derived from a source of authority (generally law) whether it be the Constitution, a Statute, the Common Law or Equity. They do not just exist because they rely on an enforceable corresponding duty to give them content.

@bradq Yes try enforcing those natural rights in a court of law, you'll be laughed out of the courtroom.
Natural rights have zero content because there is no corresponding enforceable obligation on anyone to respect, protect or fulfil.

Arrest Richard Dawkins
Rory fitzgerald of the huffington post says dawkins is responsible for atheist crimes
LOL so the fact he does not decry crimes committed by persons who were atheists makes him responsible in the same way the pope, who is actually RESPONSIBLE for monitoring the behaviour of members of his church, refused to take action over the crimes they committed.
You don't see the distinction?...

However, if we accept that ONLY actual personhood creates obligations on others not to kill the entity then by that logic a newborn can be killed and it could not be considered wrongful c...

He never said you have to vote for anyone and I find it disappointing that you'd advocate silencing any man for holding an opinion.
If you don't like what he has to say then here's a thought; don't watch these videos or any of the shows and movies he's in. Problem solved.

@SingToLive27: Well it is arguable that Eoghdes is incorrect by making such a blanket statement. I would refine it; you don't have to prove something does not exist if no verifiable empirical evidence has been discovered that proves it does exist
But if you wished to claim "bunnies don't exist"...
