That is exactly what your side would like, for nobody to ever reproduce- it is the entire purpose of contraception.

I reject that purpose. What are you going to do to me because I dissent against your dictatorship against heterosexuality?

Objective morality is based on the genetics and good of a given species. God isn't human. Aslan is not a tame lion.

It is perfectly moral for the scorpion to sting the jaguar.

Doesn't each sperm have their own unique DNA, different from the father and from each other? Perhaps it's best then if you don't reproduce... you know, with all the mass murder and all. Though if you got a vasectomy, isn't that like having a few hundred million abortions?

Ted,

"The real question is why you would expect that the moral rules for a transcendent infinite being would be the same as the moral rules for a limited, finite species."

So, there's no such thing as objective morality? God is outside the sphere of morality? How then can God be said to be good?

Obviously, because he's God. The real question is why you would expect that the moral rules for a transcendent infinite being would be the same as the moral rules for a limited, finite species.

And that likely happened within three months of 9-11. Why were we still there after that?

All of that DNA is the same as other cells in my body. The DNA of even a single celled zygote is *DIFFERENT* than that of the host mother.

Daniel,

Let me add to this a thought experiment. For the following you can not change any details. You can think about the particulars and make the decision you think is best.

You are standing on a beach before rough seas. Before you is a dilemma. 15 meters out there is a six year old girl drowning, she has very little time left. If you start swimming right now, you will just barely save her. Obviously you begin to take off your shoes.

But you notice, 50 meters away from her, but the same distance out from shore, 6 petri dishes, each containing a single human blastocyst, (you have amazing eyesight) and each is about to sink forever below the waves. You have the same amount of time to get to the bobbing petri dishes as you do to get to the terrified girl. You don't have time to get to both.
You must pick one or the other or none.

Who do you save and why?

Eh I was 13 in 2003
