Summary
In this episode, we discuss the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate, the difference between consciousness and non-consciousness, and the role of the mother and the baby in human rights violations. We also discuss the conjoined twins case, and whether or not there is a right to life for a child born with shared organs.

00:00:00.000
Yeah, so I think, you know, we can obviously disagree about and or agree about when abortion is okay
00:00:05.040
But I think we can still agree on what this is that we're talking about
00:00:08.540
I don't think we need to sort of distort the reality and say it's not a human being or something
00:00:12.000
I'm not accusing you of deliberately doing that
00:00:13.620
But I really think, you know, we have to get these basic biological facts agreed upon because otherwise we're never going to agree on anything
00:00:20.600
And you know, this is a baby from about 16 days
00:00:23.720
The baby's heart begins to pump blood around the body at six weeks
00:00:27.340
It begins to hiccup and suck and swallow maybe seven weeks from four to five weeks
00:00:31.200
It's beginning to move by itself from about ten weeks. It can probably feel pain and it's conscious
00:00:36.260
There's all these things that develops very quickly
00:00:38.520
But if you want to say oh, it's only a full human being when it's fully developed
00:00:42.380
Well science again shows us a human's brain is not typically fully developed until they're 25 years old
00:00:48.380
So some of you Gen Z people are not fully developed
1.00
00:00:56.380
People to distinguish between humans and say you're valuable. You're not you have a right to life
00:01:03.780
I'm more developed than some of you not because i'm more intelligent, but because i'm just older and you know
00:01:09.920
That doesn't make me more of a human. It doesn't give me more of a right to life
00:01:13.720
It just means i'm older but we are equal because we're equal human beings
00:01:17.040
And the pro-life view just says that's the same of every human being though
00:01:20.460
We're all equal no matter how developed and no matter how big no matter how independent
00:01:24.080
We are all human beings and therefore we're all equal the mother and the baby
00:01:28.440
And so the pro-lifer has to say the mother matters infinitely the baby matters infinitely
00:01:32.400
And we have to do our best to try and protect both
00:01:34.840
Um, so i'm i don't find the consciousness argument very compelling just for the record
00:01:40.300
But i've never read anything that suggests that there's consciousness at 10 weeks. Um, the earliest i've read is 20 weeks
00:01:49.700
I it's not that I do not believe that there is a type of life there
00:01:54.980
But I think it's very strange that we're all considering that it will be a guaranteed baby at the end of it
00:02:02.500
A fetus especially in the earlier stages to be a potential life is because 20 of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage anyway
00:02:10.000
But I mean there's also a number of other things that could happen in this span of time
00:02:14.980
Um, and I mean stillbirths is still one in 175 as well if you're particularly unlucky as and removing all variables though
00:02:33.620
It makes sense to consider viability and certainly an embryo is not what do you mean by viability?
00:02:42.820
If it if it can sustain its own system by itself
00:02:47.140
Okay, and that doesn't and that is not the same as the fact that a mother needs to feed it and such
00:02:53.460
I guess though that does get difficult if we because we're talking here about what makes a life life
00:02:57.940
And that's actually a pretty important legal question later on when we're thinking about human rights violations, right?
00:03:02.180
Who gets to have human rights as a you know as a human person?
00:03:05.540
Uh outside of the womb and if we're saying that a human is only a human only deserves the right to life if they're
00:03:15.540
Breathing and supporting their own body on their own without any help from anyone
00:03:19.380
That puts in a very difficult situation people who are lying in comas
00:03:27.140
You're using all of these analogies. It's not the same
00:03:32.340
Okay, so twins there's many legal cases on this. These are twins that have shared organs
00:03:37.860
Maybe one of them is using the other one's heart. They're fully dependent. They're linked by their bodies
00:03:42.340
It's a very intimate relationship that doesn't just go on for nine months
00:03:50.340
If you have a sister that is sharing your heart and that is using your heart
00:03:54.420
The law is absolutely clear. You cannot kill them even though they're dependent on you. They can't sustain themselves
00:04:00.820
They're invading your body in a very if you're sharing a heart. They would die. You'd both die
00:04:08.020
That's a big big point. I mean there are cases like you know sharing a liver for example
00:04:12.100
There you know, there's a there's some there was born like that. That's how they that's a
00:04:15.460
However, you get some can you kill one and keep the other anyway, though?
00:04:19.940
That doesn't make sense if one dies both of them then I think he's talking about conjoined
00:04:24.420
No, but even if they're conjoined like how is that even a choice like when you have like they're still twins
00:04:32.500
If you're even thinking about abortion, but then thinking about twins
00:04:35.700
You would only think about that if you're thinking about getting rid of both of them
00:04:38.740
You couldn't make a choice of oh i'm going to get rid of one and keep the other anyway
00:04:42.420
Even you never know someone might do that. Is that even possible?
00:04:46.740
Yeah, we know because the department of health keeps pretty good statistics on abortion and says why every single abortion is done
00:04:51.940
And there's actually a pretty substantial on the nhs website
00:04:55.620
If you look, it's called selective reduction or multiple pregnancy and quite a few abortions each year are done
00:05:00.500
Basically because there are too many babies and they have to
1.00
00:05:03.140
Get rid of some so hold on just based on what you said because I actually understood your point after you made it
00:05:10.820
Like can you if you've got twins growing in you and you decide to kill one of them and can you keep the other twin alive?
00:05:16.500
Yeah, because I actually don't know if you can do that
00:05:18.340
Yeah, it's quite common, but then really it's possible that's common no, but hey damn near make anything
00:05:25.540
Things like that that's the reason why I would kind of understand why it's like you guys that would be pro-life because
00:05:33.220
What kind of person does that if you have twins you have twins?
00:05:35.620
How can you be like oh, but it's still financial
00:05:37.620
It's still financial. It could still be financial though, innit?
00:05:40.580
Yeah, but then if it's financial don't have a baby
0.99
00:05:43.380
Some people might have only planned to have money for one
00:05:46.020
Yeah, I mean i'm not saying i'm just really shocked. I didn't know it was scientifically possible to kill one out of two
00:05:51.700
When they when they made when they made abortion, it was supposed to be like safe rare
00:05:58.420
I just think it's gotten ridiculous to the point one out of three women are having them. It's birth control
0.75
00:06:03.220
How many abortions can you even have that's another thing as well
1.00
00:06:07.300
I can't remember the exact number but it's roughly 40 of women that have had abortions have had two or more
00:06:12.660
So no, but is there a cap on it? Can i'm sure no, you can just
00:06:17.540
I mean, i'm pretty sure it must definitely have an impact on your fertility
1.00
00:06:21.300
Yeah, well and and i've heard stories of girls that have eight nine abortions
1.00
00:06:27.700
And that's what i'm saying like it's not even safe and rare anymore. It's just women making poor decisions
1.00
00:06:33.140
So in in the 1980s, the average woman in romania had eight abortions
00:06:37.460
Well, that was the average woman wait in romania in romania in the 1980s or maybe 1960s
00:06:42.580
Why it was was there no contraception? There was no contraception
00:06:46.740
Yeah, I mean yeah, so they they you know, it was there was no contraceptions, but they could have abortions
0.95
00:06:51.300
There was very limited contraception. That doesn't make sense either. Why did they do that?
00:06:54.660
And I just think all of these reasons just come to be excuses when it's just like we can close our legs
00:06:59.700
We don't have to make children with like these bad guys. No, but why can't we meet in the middle? Sorry. No, I agree with you
00:07:12.340
But it's like why can't we start with the women before we go to the men we always talk about men's responsibility
00:07:18.740
But men are legally responsible if they get a girl pregnant they have to pay child support
0.93
00:07:23.220
So after after we we both get pregnant, that's equally as long as they're working
00:07:30.420
Wait, listen, listen if we if we get pregnant, it's equally irresponsible, right?
0.90
00:07:35.300
Well, I mean I would argue it's more on the women, but we'll we'll for that for that
1.00
00:07:38.740
Well, I mean when you think about it now, okay, think about it
00:07:41.700
We got we got ten choices. They have condom no condom
0.65
00:07:44.820
We know when we ovulate we can get on birth control. We can do plan B
00:07:48.980
Did you know that you can do an abortion adoption? Like we have all these choices the men have one
00:07:53.700
Did you know that the um contraception pill was actually designed for men?
00:08:05.540
I think men might get pregnant in the future
1.00
00:08:10.420
I think actually that they decided that well, you probably know better than me that it was better for the women to take it
0.99
00:08:17.700
Because too many, you know, like the the men didn't want to have all of those
00:08:22.260
No, and that study was like one or two of them died
00:08:25.620
I want to say so that was why they had to cut it because some women died as well
0.87
00:08:32.660
I don't think it's that common. I think it's more I think the reason is a bit more commonsensical like it's I think it's easier to
00:08:43.460
I just think that's the reason why it's harder to find contraceptive for men
00:08:47.540
No, no, they made it work. It's just that men didn't like the side effects
00:08:50.660
The side effects of birth control are quite a long list
00:08:54.740
No, but there was it was sterilization and one or two people died in that study
00:08:58.980
So that's why they were like way worse than the side effects for women
0.95
00:09:02.020
So suicidality is a side effect for women's birth control
0.96
00:09:06.020
When 90% of women are on it, I just don't think it's that common especially when men commit suicide more
00:09:11.460
So the men we need to raise our voice women try to commit suicide more
0.91
00:09:20.180
But they tend to be less successful because they don't pick lethal methods
00:09:24.580
Well, I think so so men are better at suicide
1.00
00:09:29.780
That part is true, but if we're on societal arguments, that is sort of where my
00:09:34.100
uh, um interest is so when it comes to thinking, okay, so what benefits are there if we ban abortion
00:09:41.140
Well, theoretically that would potentially be more kids that could be a bonus
00:09:45.620
Um, the birth rate is falling in a lot of developed countries
00:09:48.820
But when I think of what the negatives are, um, it's significantly more in my opinion
00:09:54.340
For women, if you start to take away these types of rights, they are going to naturally feel oppressed
1.00
00:09:59.140
Um, it's going to reduce, uh, the things that they do, they're going to change their behavior
00:10:04.580
Um, they're going to be having sex less, relationships less
00:10:07.140
And already gen z is having relationships less and sex less
0.95
00:10:10.900
So it might not necessarily end up maybe they'll get married
00:10:17.140
Well, well if we ban divorce, I think maybe it would go back up
