It is universally considered wrong to take a life without just cause.
Two problems:
1. Are the biologists correct or does life begin based on other ethical, cultural, and philosophical considerations?
Implantation: When the embryo implants into the uterine wall.
Viability: When a fetus can survive outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks of gestation.
Birth: The moment a baby is born and takes its first breath.
Sentience: When the fetus can feel pain or becomes aware, often suggested to be around the second trimester.
At what point in a pregnancy does the woman begin to share her physical (bodily) rights with the child?
What is "just cause"? Is the desire to not be burdened with childcare a just cause? Is the woman's concern for her physical and mental health just cause? Is gender inequality Just cause?
