Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick Nietzsche -

If you can abort them for any reason, it follows that you can "adjust" them as well.
Wouldn't claiming it's unethical to alter the sexual preference of a fetus be premised on a violation of its rights as an individual? If so, wouldn't that have serious implications for the abortion debate?Comment

Great way to welcome newbies
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

In India lots of parents have their female children aborted already, as opposed to male children that are welcomed. It evidently creates a completely distorted society with an overabundance of men, in some rural areas complete villages are nearly devoid of women!Originally posted by Darius871

I'm not saying it's ethically right, but in this situation it might be ethically better to alter the gender, even if it has the same results as traditional abortions would have.
Besides that it'd be interesting to research, but foolish to implement. Nature provides us with close to 50/50 men/women; let's -for practical reasons- not mess with that."An archaeologist is the best husband a women can have; the older she gets, the more interested he is in her." - Agatha Christie

With this issue, I guess I see a problem with using eugenics based on bigotry and ignorance as the motivation.
With abortion, I'm not sure what minority group is targeted by bigotry and ignorance. With the excpetion of when abortions are indeed motivated by such irrationality -- such as the case with female fetuses in India.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

What difference does it make what motivation there is? The fact remains that you have no right to tell a woman what to do with her own body.Originally posted by MrFun
