I was wondering if it was a scammer thing. Makes sense, thanks!

This, in addition to the other comment calling it a scammer cleared it up for me. I initially read it as “doing yogas…”. Guess I’m out of touch.

Can someone explain this to me? I don’t get it.

I was wondering how in the hell they got IRB approval for a placebo of “I’ll just cut on you but not do surgery”. Saw it was 2002, but still was surprised. Then I saw it came from VA in Texas, and all questions were answered.

Fever is not 100F. A fever is defined as 100.4F. Why 100.4 when 100 is a much easier to remember and handle number? Because fever is defined in humans as 38C, and that converts to 100.4F.

Fair point

See previous comment in chain about this assumption.

Agreed, a neonate can certainly survive longer than a fetus without support.

You also assume I’m religious.

I’ve not seen many neonates capable of surviving without external intervention. Yes, there is more involvement that an umbilical cord, but left to its own devices, a neonate will not survive.

I’ve been told that about sterilization as well by people. So while you present it at a theoretical argument, I’ve seen it as a lm real argument used in legitimate conversation.

Interesting that you’ve assumed my stance based on my comment. I never said I was anti-abortion.

I hate to do this, but I gotta.

What about religion? There are atheists who don’t understand why people seek religion, but the basis of believing in God is not harmful to others. So why the anti-theism in so many subs here?

To take this even further, you say others have a responsibility to stop you from harming/killing your child. To extend this further, this can be taken to say that others have a responsibility to prevent aborting a healthy fetus.
