    Wait until the pro-lifers discover the antibiotics they pop when they’re sick kill organisms inside of them… Life is sacred when it’s not their bodies.

      Billions of them. Each tablet is a genocide. Ban antibiotics now!

      (But, actually don’t.)

        Def restrict them, feeding them by the fuckton to cattle because you’re too lazy to figure out a way to keep that many of them in sanitary conditions is how you get civilization-ending superbugs.

          Yes, the widespread misuse and abuse of antibiotics is a huge problem. Don’t tell the antivax RFK fans about it though, you’ll give them new ideas.

          Wouldn’t it be nice if more folk were just reasonable about things? Life would be so much easier and more fun.

        I am curious, how do you feel about IVF? Should infertile people get to do it? It destroys embryos in the process. And it’s “playing god.”

          As to the “playing god” thing, I was actually quite amazed at how touchy the IVF doctors were about that issue. They had some interesting rules about what they would and wouldn’t tell the parents about the offspring options. I’d have to go ask my friends about it again for all of them, but I remember one of the rules was the doctors wouldn’t tell them the color of the eyes before choosing.

            I believe that ethical doctors do this. I also believe there are some unethical doctors out there who don’t give a shit and allow their patients to select for all kinds of traits. Ultimately, there is no way to know unless someone talks about it.

            Nonviable:

            1. Not capable of living or developing.
              ”a nonviable fetus.”
            2. Not workable or practicable.
              “a nonviable idea.”
            3. Not viable: not capable of independent life; not practicable.
