This is a very gray area,not because of the religious aspect, but because of the emotional aspect. Basically, the baby has instinct, and that's it. My understanding is that it will eat when food is presented and will breathe and use her bodily functions. For right now, that may be enough for the mother. But I think she's going to look at it much more differently when the child gets older and still has the same amount of brain function. |

I don't quite understand where the debate is. It seems to me you're only arguing what you define as being a real person, as I see no attack against her choice to not abort the fetus. This thread, in that case, belongs either in the lounge, extended discussion, or philosophy as an opener to debating what can and cannot be a person. |

you keep bringing someones religion as if it is somehow your right to argue about it. this is not a religious matter |

Maybe you are right and I'm focusing on the wrong aspect. |

It's a waste, in my opinion. Technically it's not even a human, because a human is an animal and to be an animal you must be able to move (no), not produce food by photosynthesis (yes), respond to stimuli (no), have restricted growth (yes) and fixed bodily structure (yes). It's essentially a pet rock with a face. |

While I wouldn't go as far to say she is raising a fetus, I can definitely see where you are coming from. I would say that it is not a fully developed human being and would not benefit from living a life with any form of consciousness. |

The thing might as well be a house plant. There is nobody inside that head. Nobody is home. I don't think souls exist, but if they did, aren't they supposed to be minds? Well, that biological shell has no mind, so it clearly has no soul. It is nobody. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
The mothers gonna have fun when she has to poop. When she gets older, she will poop anytime she has to because she knows no better. I'd of just let the baby die...what's the point? |
|
This is unbelievable. |
|
To me, it must be a lot like having a pet. The baby does respond to touch and sound (watch the video on the Blog). |
|
It also reminds me of the couple who had a stillborn, and they spent a while taking pictures with it in all different poses as if it were alive. The skin of the baby was blue. |
|
I know of two women who had a miscarriage and had a funeral for the fetus! One of them even had pictures taken of the fetus "corpse" in a casket. That is so creepy I don't even want to be in the same building with people like that. My guess that it was all about getting a bunch of attention. |

pictures are creepy!! |

Someone said that this mother is taking care of her child. Is she really? There isn't anything there. Her child has no mind. She is only taking care of this kid in the same capacity that one might take care of their clothes or their car. There is no mind to really appreciate any of this "care" that body is receiving. |

I guess this kid can be called "the purest person on the planet" because she can not be corrupted by todays society. |
