Read what I said. A fetus cannot survive outside of the mother's body.

I think the death penalty should be used in some circumstances, I think personally I would rather be put to death, then to live my life in prison, and I read that it is more expensive to kill someone than to keep them in jail for life, this is completely untrue, its the appeals process which costs more, not killing them.
So are you saying you would get rid of the appeals process? Wouldn't this lead to more innocent people getting executed?

Nope I dont want to get rid of it, I was just pointing out the fact that it is what cost more, I think the decision to either be put to death or live life in prison should be the choice of the person who is being charged.

Nope. The prisoner could most likely survive just fine on his own. He is only dependent so far as the state forces him to be dependent.

I was referring to mentally handicapped people, infants, and paralyzed people being dependant on others to survive.

Parasite: An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.
This goes beyond mere dependence, and refers specifically to the body of the host organism.

if the child is not hurting the mother in any way why should it be aborted, parasites are usually thought of as hurting the host, whereas a child would be more of a symbiote.

RIght, partial birth abortion is legal, and the child could no longer be considered a parasite if thats what you want to think of it as, yet its constantly supported.

Nope. In order for it to be a symbiotic relationship, the fetus would have to actually benefit the mother. Instead it only takes nutrients from the mother without giving anything back.

No, it's not constantly supported. There are even many liberals, including myself, who are opposed to partial birth abortion except in cases where the mother's life is in danger.

In symbiosis, ONE(or 2) of the members benifits from the relationship, in this case its commensalism, the child benifits, and the mother is not injured.

Actually, the fetus takes some nutrients from the mother, thus requiring her to "eat for two." There are other organisms that do this as well, such as the tapeworm, a well-known parasite.

my thoughts:
abortion: only in the first trimester except in the case of grave danger to the health of the mother.
fetal development occurs much faster than many people are aware. i am not impressed by any of the arguments in support of allowing abortions after the first trimester. if you want an abortion, have it in the first 3 months. by the end of the first trimester, the fetus' brain is fully formed, it's got it's own blood type distinct from it's mother, and it can feel pain.
death penalty: i personally feel that it should be considered for premeditated murder and those with multiple convictions for serious violent crimes. should be left up to the states.
contrary to claims to the contrary, the death penalty is a deterrent. sparing the death penalty submits the public to a greater risk, and for what? to protect a person that has decided to take another's life? it should be an option for the residents of each state to decide if they wish to use.

Sources? I find this hard to believe, considering how much higher the murder rate is here in America than it is in other developed countries which have banned the death penalty. How do those countries deter murder?

if murdering someone on a sunday was made punishable by death, but doing it on any other day of the week was banned, don't you think there'd be statistically less murders commited on sundays than before?

Sorry Silversoul. I have to diasagree. That doesn't make it any less human. As far as choices go, birth control is widely availiable and easy to obtain.

It makes it pre-human. And the availability of birth control does not mean that we should throw out the last resort of abortion.
