I don't understand. Like what part, I understand it's theoretical, but what part of this analogy is not analogous?

I mean, of course it doesn't happen.

Because it's an analogy. Analogies don't happen. That's the point of analogies.

an abortion, but okay. Okay. Let's say like, I think the reason you're trying to avoid this is because you realize that the government, let's flip this hypothetical around.

I would not do it now, but okay.

I would not do it now, but okay.

I would. But, okay, the difference here is that... That's your pro-life. No, okay, here's my distinction I wanted to make, though. Thank you. I think there's a very important distinction to be made between thinking that abortions are good versus thinking that women should have the choice to have an abortion.

Because in our scenario, the mother-daughter, you can argue that the right thing to do, the thing you would want to do, or the thing that I would want someone to do, is to donate the kidney and save the daughter. But I think there's kind of an instinct that for the mother, some sort of autonomy, bodily autonomy perhaps,

is stands in the way and basically says the government cannot enforce her to do that even if it's the thing that we would feel is right for her to do so what what about that situation is is it is it the mother's dna what do you mean is the baby in her her dna well in my first analogy i guess yeah but like like but it's a separate human being right so every human being should have separate protected universal rights

Does the mother have the protected universal right to not have her kidney taken to go to the daughter in this scenario?

Don't you think a human who is physically entangled with another human has the right, purely on bodily autonomy, to do that? If someone else is reliant, plugged into my body, do I not have the right to disconnect that and retain it?
