Another category of disposable Dutch people

The ever-growing God complex of Dutch medical practitioners is a fearful thing to behold.

now the philosophy professors embrace the slippery slope - at least they do in my deparment. Fetuses, newborns, mentally retarded people, comatose, senile - none are "normative agents" and thus have no right to life. This is the accepted train of thought among professional ethicists today :(

[Clog Boy]

How about providing us with some arguments for the 'slippery slope' theory?

The argument that if I eat junkfood once a year, there will be a time that I eat junkfood five times a day?

The argument that if I swear once, I'll kill twenty people once?

Incredible. You have some mighty fine schools in the US. Congratulations!

Howdy. Newbie in here I see.

Pot, and how it seems linked almost always to harder drugs has been a good slipery slope example.

Welfare, and how it depresses the human spirit and expectations is another example and often removes them from mainstream life is another example.

Success, and the result of hard work and doing it making you want to repeat it over and over is another example.

Winning occasionaly in gambling, and many getting addicted to it and then losing major amounts of money and ruining lives is another.

The discrimination against "imperfect people" goes all the way back to the Levitical commandments in the Bible, that people with physical disabilities be barred from the Temple.

You might wanna explain yourself a bit better. This might not go as well for you as you might think.

Welcome to FR.

I think you may have wandered in too far...you never know what lurks around the next corner...

Yeah Clog Boy! Things are not always as the seem.

The argument that if I swear once, I'll kill twenty people once?

The argument that if I pray to Allah once, I'll kill twenty people once?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

BTW, the answer is: YES.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Bump!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sure. How about once upon a time it was not ok to have an abortion.

Then it was ok to kill a child three months after conception.

Then it was ok to kill a child at six month after conception.

Then it was ok to kill a child at nine months after conception.

Then it was ok to leave it to die after the child was born.

Now there are some people pushing to have it be legal to kill a child 30 days after birth.

Any questions?

Put you head in the dyke and take a deep breath creep!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

And now, it seems, ok to kill OAPs.
