Musings With A Touch of Aspie

If an embryo or fetus and I have the same exact rights, then that means, that just as I don’t have the right to use someone’s body against their will, neither does a fetus. If you’re going to say a fetus does have that right, then you’re saying that fetuses are more important than other people who can actually suffer from an unwanted pregnancy.

And no, a fetus doesn’t have the right to use someone’s body against their will even when the “right to life” is brought into the equation. By that logic, since the right to life supersedes bodily autonomy, if I need a kidney, I can kidnap and/or kill a random person to get it. My right to life is more important than their bodily autonomy, after all, right?

That proposition is repulsive. If you don’t find it repulsive, then you should. You have to consent to an organ donation—unless you become pregnant, anyway.
