Dying Fetus

Hopeless Humanity An Analysis of a Colin Wilson Quote Colin Wilson was once quoted as saying, "The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain." While this quote can be interpreted many different ways, like most quotes, I think that Wilson is trying to say humans sometimes lose hope and let whatever happens happen to them. Most of the time this Wilson quote rings surprisingly true when you examine the average life of a normal human being. In some cases, we see individuals with an abundance of perseverance and determination that will stop at nothing to get what they believe they deserve. Personally, I believe Colin Wilson is correct in this statement because humans are often victims of depression, fate, and misguided hopes. Depression is a mental illness that, whether it is diagnosed or not, has plagued and will continue to plague society. It is very easy to fall into the trap of depression, but it is very difficult to escape this vicious cycle once you are part of it. For that reason, I think Colin Wilson 's quote is supremely accurate about men. Once you have accepted that you aren 't happy with the way life goes one time, it becomes easier to stop fighting to make things better and instead stand like the proverbial cow in the rain. It will always be harder to continue than it will be to give up, and many men will lose their motivation and will before they succeed. When…

[Images of Jesus Christ and Mohandas Gandhi left the mirror to be replaced by images of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong leading their troops in World War II.] “Liam can start World War III, a war that will be so great that it can end all wars. He can bring suffering the likes the world has never known, mass disease, mass starvation, mass genocide, all while convincing the world’s people that what he is asking them to do to one another is a just-cause and righteous. “This can all…

Sperlonga sculptures are four sculptural groups that were discovered in 1957 in a grotto on the coast between Naples and Rome. The location is believed to have been a villa that belonged to the Roman Emperor Tiberius, and it is suggested that the grotto was used for social events. At some point the sculptures were shattered, likely by a rock fall , making their reconstruction a difficult process. It is unknown exactly when the sculptures were created, however, it is commonly accepted that…

biggest controversies of all time. In “A Defense of Abortion” Judith Thomson argues, a fetus does not have the right to life or the ability to use someone else’s body. She explains the different between Good Samaritan and Minimally Decent Samaritan My objection is that Thomson’s experiment is not realistic, a person has to follow the responsibilities of their actions, and a parent has an obligation to care for their child, and counts as a Minimally Decent Samaritan. Thomson arguments against my…

Abortion” Judith Thomson argues, a fetus does not have the right to life or the ability to use someone else’s body. She explains the differences between Good Samaritan and Minimally Decent Samaritan. My objection is that Thomson’s experiment is not realistic, a person has to follow the responsibilities originated from their behavior, and a parent has a commitment to care for their child, and counts as a Minimally Decent Samaritan. Thomson arguments against my criticism would be; the fetus’…

believe abortion should be legal so it can save a mother’s life and prevent the child from a lifetime of suffering. But other people believe it should be illegal because there are some women who use it as a way to dodge their responsibilities. Many expecting mothers are not physically able to carry a child. Certain women run the risk of dying during child birth due to certain health problems. In fact, “A woman’s risk of dying from having a abortion is 0.6 in 100,000, while the risk of dying is…

unborn fetus are dying before they get a chance to live. Abortion rate is increasing because women cannot accept having a child without a father and also there is not sufficient abortion clinics. Some women have an abortion for several different reasons and some might be they are preoccupy with work, school, or they cannot raise a child by themselves. In some states, if someone is under eighteen and they would like to get an abortion, the state would ask both of the children's parents to give…

believe that if the baby miscarriages during an operation or just in general, that that is an abortion, but it is only if you kill the fetus intentionally in order to save yourself. You should never do an abortion thinking that the baby is “not alive” or it “doesn't count as murder.” Also by exterminating your baby, you are not following God’s plan for us here on earth. Abortion is never okay because the fetus is basically a human being and that it is a mortal sin. Most women get an abortion…

be a negative right, provided that it has certain guidelines. One in which abortions are neither a right that should be given nor taken away. Thomson begins by arguing that there is no right time to mark the point in which a person should begin to be considered a person. She then gives an example of an oak tree and how it is not called an oak tree at the beginning, but goes through stages to become an oak tree. Nevertheless, Thomson does agree that a fetus becomes a person at some point…

61.3% of abortions happen 9 weeks or earlier, 1.1% of abortions happen 21 weeks or later. Fetuses do not start feeling pain until the third trimester of pregnancy, after 26 weeks the cortex begins to form causing the fetus to be able to feel pain. Abortions rarely happen after that. In 2016 Utah passed a law that requires doctors to give anesthesia to a fetus prior to performing an abortion that occurs at 20 weeks of gestation or later. So even after the 22nd week the fetus would not feel pain…
