Dependency


The past several posts we've seen how size does not equal value, level of self-awareness does not make someone more or less human, and where you are has no bearing on who you are. The last commonly thought of difference between us and the fetus is degree of dependancy. After all, the unborn is dependent on its mother for nutrition. But we see that minors are dependant on their parents or guardians, and the elderly often dependant on their children - or diabetics dependent on insulin.  So why would a fetus being dependent on his/her mother make him or her less human? It doesn't. Dependency on someone or something does not make one have more or less human or un-human.
