The difference is the same between that of a neonate and a toddler - growth and development. The unborn child is fully human from the moment of conception

But growth and development are everything. A neonate is no more fully human than a brain-dead individual kept alive only with a respirator.

Also, you refuse to recognize the need to make hard choices. There's even a name for such a procedure - triage.

The unborn child is fully human from the moment of conception. Anyone who tries to claim otherwise is simply trying to justify murder

But murder is justified all the time...by the "nicest" people, as I pointed out in my last post. And, unless you're a pacifist, you justify it too. Just not in these circumstances which conflict with your religious beliefs. Which is why I value your "morality" at exactly zero.

So you are okay with taking the life of both a neonate and someone on a respirator?

Would you say it is okay to take the life of the person on the respirator if that individual has indicated they don't WANT their life taken in that circumstance?
