But the obvious issue remains - if the fetus is not human for legal and ethical purposes then why is anyone surprised when 'non-human' remains are mistreated?

I certainly read the article. I've done so a few times now. The legitimate criticism is wrt disposing of the remains as clinical waste. What happens to that waste is unrelated. The rest of this I agree with.

Originally posted by Christianbookworm View PostAren't some of those diseases transmitted other ways too? Why would there still be people practicing unsafe sex?!
2) Yes, some are transmitted in other ways but the majority of transmissions of the four major (Syphilis, HIV, GC and CT) are sexual. I haven't heard of a confirmed case of transfusion-caused syphilis infection in my entire 18 year career. Needle-sharing as an actual risk factor is mostly confined to those who are already high risk (drug abusers aren't exactly known for celibacy) - so if you saw a true decline in sexual transmission, we'd expect to see a needle-sharing decline following it. I suppose the toilet seat thing is also a possibility if the idiot is high enough to not notice the really icky stuff he/she is sitting in - but that would be the only way (Can it happen innocently? Only if you literally are blind or too intoxicated to care).
The reality is that STD's follow promiscuity so if you reduce promiscuity you reduce STD. As a side effect, you also reduce the number of non-sexual transmissions because the pool of infected people is much smaller (Bob might have gotten it sharing a needle with Tom but Tom got it having sex with Dave - so even 'non-sexual' trace back eventually to sexual infections).
3) Because people is stoopid. Human stupidity plays an incredible role in most disease transmission from STD to staph (hey, Doc! Wash your hands already!)"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

However, before I concede to such, just what exactly is a 'wrt'?
FYI: I was referring to the legitimate criticism of the opponents, not the article itself.

I never said otherwise. All I've done is mention that 'human remains' are a subset of 'biological waste'. I haven't claimed that the fetus switches categories at any point.Last edited by Teallaura; 03-26-2014, 11:05 AM."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
