If we can say, 'don't play god' by using birth control, or providing abortion services, it stands to reason that we should not 'play god' by taking extraordinary steps to save premmies, or resuscitating heart attack victims, vaccinating the population against disease, or giving antibotics to cure grandma's pnuemonia.
i would be in agreement with ya...
on abortion it is still a tough topic for me...
the question of where life truly begins...
I rather wish we could focus more on the prevention of unwanted pregnancy in the beginning...
but i too have problems with those who have children they cannot afford to care for, and others who mistreat and or/ have killed their children.
I wish their was a way to have to "qualify" to be a parent...
with the knowledge we have scientifically already this seems a logical step...
