There are good dams and bad dams, ethical medicine and unethical... and so on.

Who will be in charge of determining what is "good" and/or "ethical"?

But to say we can't do something because it's "unnatural" . . . a little silly

Governments undoubtedly... although the mere declaration of something as "ethical" does not make it so.

Yes and No

Would help if you knew what you where talking about laugh

Quote:
Ethics (also known as moral philosophy) is a branch of philosophy which seeks to address questions about morality; that is, about concepts like good and bad, right and wrong, justice, virtue, etc.

Major branches of ethics include meta-ethics, about the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions and how their truth-values (if any) may be determined; normative ethics, about the practical means of determining a moral course of action; applied ethics, about how moral outcomes can be achieved in specific situations; moral psychology, about how moral capacity or moral agency develops and what its nature is; and descriptive ethics, about what moral values people actually abide by.


Governments undoubtedly has to abide by the people that elected them into office - It is their fabric of ethics / morals in this case that the government has to abide by .

Bottom Line;
It is the people what are the ethics or morals by majority - not the government

This is a case where grammatical error obscures meaning to the point of it being indecipherable.

You sound just like priggish little Miss Perdita, although she was concerned, not with shagging anything in particular (that concern seems to be your recurring theme), but rather with the streaked gillivor, in whose piedness she saw the human touch and so would not set the dibble in the earth to plant it. If you want an argument, go read The Winter's Tale. I'm not gonna to work on your farm no more.

I didn't think it'd be scientifically based... (rather opinion)

so 128 cell blastocyte = a 2 month old embryo ?


how do you define a fetus then ?

And yours is a case of condescending conceit, because you do understand what he said, but you choose to insult him.

Bad hair day, huh?
