Is it ever right to kill a child ?

Add New Argument
4 points

1) If the child is weaponized (suicide bomber)

2) If the child is about to personally murder and it's the only way to stop them (a variation similar to scenario 1 - but the Jason Vorhees version)

3) If the child is in excruciating pain and has no hope of being saved (screaming in agony burned over 99% of their body and stranded 100 miles from any prayer of help)(rare but possible)(basically a version of euthanasia)

4) If the child is collateral damage to a military action

5) If the death is an indirect result of a broader policy (such as a ship of refugees sinking before amnesty was granted)

6) If the death was the least damaging scenario (the scenario of a car without brakes either having to hit a crowd of 50 miscellaneous people or a single child playing in the wrong place at the wrong time)

7) Legal abortion (although arguably that is not yet a child anyway)

8) Failed test tube reproductions (cloned tissue, not succesful enough to reach full sentient life)

I'm sure there are more.

Sure; what of the child is about to kill two other children or something and you have no choice but to shoot them? I'm thinking about that scene in the movie American sniper.

Yes I remember that movie . Recently a debate broke out online where several people stated it’s always wrong to kill a child , of course I totally disagreed

When a bunch of funky, gandolf looking wing nuts walk into your palace bearing fabluous gifts and tribute to the king who is supposed to be born while pointing at scientific looking documents and having traveled from halfway across the globe from the land of mystical wise ass physicists...

...I could understand the weight of superstitious fear that might overcome someone in such a place of authority, especially if they've never seen a hippie before.

Sometimes you just gotta kill all the babies.

Population control in the name of sustainability.

Sustainability of what? The environment.

"My environment", says the authority clinging to their post.

Also, the spirit of abortion is baby murder, don't kid yourselves.

Repent!

hmmm it depends ... If the child is older then YES! ( only as self-defence ) but if the child is young then maybe just try and get through the thing with them ..

There are other things though... e.g abortion ... this all depends if it is needed

According to the Democrat Party, it is always a right to kill viable unborn children.

NOT ONE UNBORN BABY HAS THE RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED ACCORDING TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, AND THOSE WHO ELECT THEM!

Most Liberals on this site are LIARS! The Democrat Party does indeed support No Restriction abortions up to birth!

So tell me, what week up to birth are abortions illegal according to you? Give me the week when convienence abortions are no longer allowed in the eight No Restriction abortion States.

What don't you understand about when Hillary says abortions are between a mother and her doctor up to birth?

What don't you get about the Left's demand that the wording "health" of mother must be included into any abortion compromise, and that the word "health" must include depression.

They understand that any and all abortions will be legal as long as the mother simply says she is depressed over having the baby.

What don't you get bout the GOP trying to pass 20 week limits (but still allowing extreme case abortions), and the Democrat Party always stopping them?

This is why I ban you. You refuse to be honest with what you support.

Do you actually think that burying your head in the sand, and telling everyone the lie of how the Left does not support No Restriction abortions, actually mens anything at all? Who do you think you are fooling? YOURSELF?
