New Abortion Laws in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, March 26 2005 22:09 Profile Homepage #140 quote: Originally written by i: The goal is not to punish, but to make sure people are accountable for the consequences of their actions.* Surely if those consequences can be minimised, then making people accountable for them is no longer necessary. In the end, the raison d'etre of society is to minimise the harmful consequences of people's actions; thanks to social progress we can go on a walk alone without running the risk of being eaten by bears, we can inadvertently cut ourselves without running the risk of dying of an infection, and eventually we should aim to be able to have sex without running the risk of pregnancy. We've come reasonably close already, but there's plenty of room for improvement in contraceptive methods.

HLPM bug in Tech Support
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, March 26 2005 20:32 Profile Homepage #11 Well, tough luck. You probably can't buy all the spells that are for sale in DwtD at their maximum levels either. There's such a thing as budgeting. Having said that, the amount by which spells increase in cost with each level does get kinda ridiculous at some point, but that's a BoA issue, not a HLPM issue.

If not in the moral sense, then in what sense "ought" the state to legislate in the public good? Setting aside the definition of the public good for now, how is saying that the state ought to legislate in the public good not a prescriptive moral statement? -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Legally, stolen property must be confiscated and returned to its original owner even if the person currently in possession of it is completely innocent of any wrongdoing, regardless of how badly the person currently in possession of it may need it. Why should this be any different? Depends on the amount of time that property is in your possession. For illegally occupied land, the period before adverse possession kicks in is typically several years, depending on where you live. 9 months is a fair bit less than that. :P -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

All I'm saying is that theoretical physics is still pretty rough around the edges, and the fact that we can't find a consistent theory to explain every phenomenon is a serious problem. (For example, as far as I know, there's no single physical model or consistent set of physical models to satisfyingly explain every observed gamma-ray burst). -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

No human being is "property" of another, so your analogy doesn't apply. You missed my point. It's not the embryo that's stolen property, it's the woman's uterus, which the embryo happens to be making use of. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

May seem radical today, but I'm sure "No slavery period." seemed radical too once. Still is radical, you mean. Regardless of laws, there's still slavery, and coercive labour practices that amount to the same thing, in every country. Indentured servitude is illegal in (for example) India and yet it's still widespread there. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!
