    So where is the visible hand of your creator? In the lab or in the bed? :m:

    actually an absence of free will wouldn't remove such suffering - it would just render one incapable of determining it (or anything) as good, bad or moderate


    what I am playing up here is your use of the word "necessary"
    For instance do you think it is necessary for people to rob banks?
    (or do you think such actions reflect an individual's recourse to action amongst a host of other choices?)


    Actually the plan is for us to have free will (which , on the flip side , enables for an assessment of goodness too .... something you don't appear to have noused) .... and part of that plan is to relegate the off the wall stuff to the material world (ie a world where one participates in something like a virtual world, assuming different personalities to play out their inconsequential dramas)



    I think part of the problem is that you think taking birth as a child means that one takes birth with a clean karmic slate ... which is part of what is solved by attaining spiritual perfection - namely the ability to see one's self distinct from t he body that one is awarded due to material desire

    in the allocation of a specific living entity to a specific body (in a specific environment) of course

    In reverse engineering reproduction much of the prior mystery that seemed to suggest the hand of G_d has been unravelled and de-mystified. Thus where you may see a visible (but not really) and divine hand, I may see the freckly gnarly (and visible) hand of a scientist.

    So, regarding the sanctity of life relating to abortion, is relegating a 10 day old lab grown fetus to the incinerator considered to be murder?

    no, not really. i just know i do. and i don't think you actually have to be the one who makes a bad choice to experience the result of it. people's bad choices effect other people all the time. especially children, cause they don't really get a choice most of the time.

    Indeed. This is precisely the heart of the problem. How, and when do we grant this supposed 'sanctity'?

    to butt in...what about a sanctity for nature itself? for the natural process, causes, and outcomes? if anything, and ironically, wouldn't science support that?

    how twisted is it exactly that we're artificially inseminating, growing babies in test tubes, and at the same time, killing them in mother's wombs?

    it's at the very least inefficient.

    Of course this makes perfect sense. But why is the sexual drive hard wired to be so incredibly powerful that for millions and millions of normal folk, at times, it is unstoppable? (enter baby)

    I mean, G_d could have helped us out by making sex a lot less pleasant?

    I don't understand what you mean.

    "Sanctity" is a religious word; it has no sensible application beyond that scope.

    Not twisted at all. It's just 'twisted' from a twisted perspective...

    in my mind, it's impossible to isolate this issue in regards to the way we live our lives, and our values, as a whole. everything influences everything else, and it all compounds exponentially. i'm an idealist. i wouldn't envision changing this one thing, everything else remaining constant. i can though envision god blowing the whole thing up and starting over again though with a select group of people who are committed to change.

    well it is inefficient, and if i'm not mistaken the inefficiency is determined by some form of morality. funny...

    Sadly, Lori, a lot of this knowledge was initiated, gathered and stimulated in medical attempts to help woman who could not naturally conceive, no matter how much they loved G_d. :m:

    If you want to judge things from a purely puerile point of view.

    Interesting. I don't consider anything I do sexually as being 'dirty'. The christians really fucked you up didn't they. I mean what is 'dirty' exactly? Fellatio? Anal? Kissing? Pouring honey over yourself? What makes a sex act dirty? But you don't need to answer any of that as you reveal more than you probably would like to...which is why I call you neurotic. Dirty indeed! You speak about suffering but you seem to be the only one who's afflicted.

    well it's a value for life, or of life, and i was suggesting that if you could assign one to an individual person, you could also assign one to the natural process itself, and ironically, not interfere with it.
