A life ?not worth living??

ADVERTISEMENTS

 

I would like to follow up on Rick?s comment to Rob?s post regarding the recent Cahn-Carbone posting on Prawfsblawg.

 

I have read this posting, and it appears that the Cahn-Carbone argument rests in large part on the attempt to justify the abortion on the grounds that one person can determine that another?s life is not worth living. This justification is premised on the integrity and coherence of the rationale that one person has the right, the ability, the competence, etc. to conclude that another?s life is not or will not be worth living. This is flawed reasoning that is premised on a problematic subjectivity rather than objectivity.

 

I cannot agree with Cahn and Carbone that the parent can ?profoundly appreciate? the value of the child?s life but nonetheless proceed to terminate the life of the child for the child?s ?own good.? This decision is not based on logic but sophistry.
