- Person in a coma used used to be alive, sentient being.
- Animals are alive beings. Those with neuro development higher than insects are sentient. Neither those animals nor humans (animals) deserve to die.
- 4 month old fetus is not a sentient animal\human. It has never even been awake (born) and cognitively experienced the environment (person in a coma has).
- Some rigid dictionary definition of one word does not describe complex scientific understanding of what a sentient animal is. You talk about unimportance of "aesthetic" similarities but then refer to definition of the word from dictionary. That is contradiction.
The difference between newborn baby and 4 months old fetus is not an aesthetic difference. These two have completely different levels of development of their systems such as nervous, cardiovascular etc. Fetus is not a well developed newborn. Your simplistic and scientifically illiterate denominating of complex subject is one of the reasons why the value system in our society is still backward like in middle ages. Regardless of current technological advancements and scientific understandings.
There is zero logic in your assertion. It seems just to be a mindless repetition of some simplisistic opinion conditioned by your lifestyle experiences. Opinion that you seem very attached to because you derive your sense of identity and lifestyle belonging from it. - Abortion should be allowed with a decision left solely to mother. When the fetus is over 5-6 moths old then it should be advised to mother not to have abortion unless there is health risk to mother, mother was raped, there is no possibility for anyone to raise the child sustainably or the child is suspected to be born with serious disease/disorder. In the end, it is mother's decision.
No one, including father should have a right to stop the abortion.
