I'm surprised there's not more discussion about the content of this video. I mean, that's some pretty deep stuff to think about. So many different ways to interpret this: The timely, complex process of creating a human life and yet how quickly it can be reversed; all the potential you think about when you see the fetus, but also knowing it's future fate; the faults that led to the person's decision to end it all. Very powerful stuff.

@eviltide Wut teh fuckz? The fetus doesn't even have cognitive recognition, you must be using Creation science.

[eviltide]

@disturbedking8 Well, that all depends on your view of evil. A fetus certainly does have potential. A fetus is learning from it's mother about several things: the emotional state of the mother, what food she is ingesting, the physical state of the mother. That means it is learning about what kind of world it will get born into. Life is the single most incredible, amazing miracle in the entirity of the cosmos. This is not something to be taken for granted. That is science itself talking.

@disturbedking8 I certainly agree with you there, although nobody has broached the subject. So, did you enjoy the video?

[disturbedking8]

@thisisexile66 I can think abstract thoughts, but I don't like when people assert that abortion is some naturally evil thing.

[thisisexile66]

@disturbedking8 It's not a geologic process, man. It's just a video. It's just an interesting video. It makes you think, even if you don't believe everything that runs through your head. It's entertainment. And for people that choose a poetic interpretation over a literal one, so be it. Whatever gets you through the day. Isn't abstract thought one of the things that makes us human?

[disturbedking8]

@thisisexile66 And when earthquakes happen, you can blame god. It's not a literal interpretation of the event, but it's one that is easier to explain.

[thisisexile66]

@disturbedking8 Agreed, but Newtonian physics need not apply to poetic interpretation. I'm a rather scientific thinker, but I wasn't being scientific when I said that it had potential. I just meant that life provides a path to death and that "potential" lies somewhere in between.

[disturbedking8]

@thisisexile66 A fetus by itself can't do anything, therefore it has no potential. Think of it like newtons first law of physics: an object (the fetus) will only move (grow) if an outside force (the womb) acts upon it. The potential is provided by the mother, not the fetus.

[thisisexile66]

@disturbedking8 It certainly doesn't have the potential to eventually turn into a human:/

@VirtualSamadhi Cool. Thanks I will definitely check them out.
