I was so worried I’d miss out on the footnote battles of academia. I’m so glad medicine has them too. 3/3

The authors respond w pure southern salt. “Bless your heart, your algorithm sounds perfect. We can’t wait to see you put it into practice under ideal circumstances. What’s that? No such thing? I guess we’d better leave this kinda thinking to the experts then.” 2/

He’s not the greatest professor ngl. But he’s the *only* professor for the whole program. It’s an adapt or die situation 😂🫠

There is no fetal rights without mother's rights, just as there is no infinity without zero. It's an ouroboros that focuses too much on when there are 2 people in the equation, and not enough on the wellbeing of the 1 person who is in the equation the longest (the mother).

With regard to parental vs fetal rights, it falls into the same philosophical black hole that the idea of "zero" did during the Renaissance: the concept of zero encapsulates the idea of infinity. The concept of the mother's rights is engulfed by the idea of the fetus' rights.

The ethical dilemma here lies in the Christian idea of "merit": has this person "earned" parenthood? If they're on public welfare, if they’re a single mother, if they’ve ever committed a crime or were born epileptic or have failed reproductive organs, then they don't "deserve" parenthood.

Some of the ethical issues listed are simpler: should a person be allowed to have children? Do they have the ability to consent to having children? Would the children be in danger from them if they were allowed to conceive? Would anyone be directly harmed by them having children?
