The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual. The problem is the "moral status" of bastards who believe this.

Even if that is true.... So?
So does this mean that if a person doesn’t know they are being killed it’s somehow okay to kill them?

This means someone can shoot the professors between the eyes in their sleep, and they won’t mind since they won’t be aware they are being killed.

Babies Don’t Know They’re Being Killed During Abortions
Wouldn’t that be true for people ambushed with a bullet to the back of the skull? Or someone who has an OD of sleeping pills slipped into their drink? How does ignorance of your murder make it right?

Using the same logic, wouldn’t a person suffering from dementia be eligible for a good snuffing out?
What about a person in a coma, who couldn’t prove’ their self awareness?
Or if a person is temporarily knocked out?
The list is endless.

Maybe it's the case that when you become a tenured professor you lose a sense of self ~ so it's OK to be slaughtered.
Perhaps one of these fine gentlemen would like to demonstrate for us the utility in that belief.

Professors: Babies Dont Know Theyre Killed in Abortions
In the abortion debate many pro-abortion and not-quite-anti-abortion proponents have said the humanity of the fetus is the central question, the central issue, but never define humanity or human being except as something that is sentient, the killing of which would be murder. And? By their own words sentience does not define humanity for cows are sentient and humans may feel no pain if certain nerves are severed.
In the above context, they say the case for first trimester abortions depends upon the experience of pain. Are they saying that denying life is not to be permitted if the experience is painful? For whom? Surely after the fetus is dead it will no longer feel or remember feeling pain. This reminds me of the question of whether one would rather be given a drug before an operation that would prevent pain or be given one later that would erase from the memory the pain experienced during the operation. Such questioning is secondary to the fact of the operation. What will be its result? In the case of abortion the result will be the death of the fetus whether it feels any pain or not. The experience of pain, then, is not bad in itself if its cause brings about a better state of being or prevents a worse one. To grant or deny a fetus (the term here used generically) a future life outside the womb as a sentient human being by its present ability to experience pain seems more than bizarre--"Its okay, you know, it didnt feel a thing because it wasnt sentient." Yeah, which is better, to exist having felt no pain of abortion or to not exist having felt no pain of abortion? To be or not to be, that is the question, isnt it?

I wonder what the Hollywood leftard's stance is on this. Half of them belong to the cult of scientology. Don't they make a big deal over "prenatal memory"?
I expect closet cases Tom Cruise and John Travolta to speak out passionately in defense of the unborn.
Any second now...
...I'm, I'm sure they'll be here any moment...

And we actually think we can have a dialog with these people! It is impossible to find a common ground with these people.
We might as well try having a discussion with a vat of maggots.

Would it be OK to kill anybody if it can be done in his or her sleep?
I see a big fat FAIL here.

I would like a government grant to conduct a study where I take these liberal profs, bash them into a persistent vegetative state, then cut them up and see whether they know they are being killed.

Whatever it takes to justify something that makes life more convenient...in this case, killing infants with genetic anomalies that weren’t caught in time for an abortion to be carried out. We’ve come right back to ancient Greece in such an undeniable way, and yet people still turn a blind eye to it because it’s convenient to be able to kill children who are too burdensome.
