Hypothesis: I can talk her into doing it.
Test hypothesis: ???
Analysis and draw conclusion: If I do convince her, eventually she would end of the relationship. If I don't convince her, I don't have the balls to be a daddy so I'll end the relationship.

You could argue that a baby is a big responsibility that neither of you are quite ready for, and that you would not be able to provide that child with the sort of life it deserves.

Or you could quit trying to end the life of a small living creature, and instead embrace becoming a father and love it. Maybe it would be good for you to become a little less selfish.

I don't see why you need a scientific argument here.
Abortion is safe, that's all. The choice of doing it or not does not depend on science, it depends on whether you want a baby or not. Obviously you don't but your girlfriend does, I hope you've already told her that you didn't want a baby right now at least.

Would having a baby put you in a such bad situation ?

Just tell her that's not what you want because you (none of you both maybe) are not ready for this.

Scientifically speaking, you have no real argument.

The new life is created on conception. It's when the DNA of two different people merge and create an entirely new DNA, which means an entirely new person.

A sperm cell or an egg cell aren't a new human being anymore than, say, your toenail is. But when they finally merge and their DNA mixes up, it becomes a new living being.

I guess you could try to use pseudo-scentific arguments such as "It's not a person because it has no consciousness", but "consciousness" and "person" aren't scientific terms. Scientifically speaking, fetus is a human being. Just like an infant is, just like a child is, just like a teenager is, just like an adult is, just like an old person it. It is merely at an early stage of life.

Protecting rights is different from enforcing morality. Protecting rights is desirable because in a deterministic universe, individual liberty is the closest thing to free will and the only way to allow any actual moral responsibility. A world that uses the law to become free of sin is a world free of choice, and thus free of humanity.

Now that we've established protecting freedom to act as a worthy goal, I have to ask, even if your claim that a fetus is life was true (which I disagree with) do they have rights? Do they have the freedom to make choices? That is questionable, but it is not questionable to claim that the mother does.

I agree.

Do they have the freedom to make choices? That is questionable, but it is not questionable to claim that the mother does.

Whether you think a fetus is alive is irrelevant. Scientifically speaking, it's alive. You can argue if the fetus is a person or if it has consciousness, because those aren't scientific terms with clear definitions. But in any mature argument, they have no place in.

Let's use a six month old baby as an example here. It's obviously way too young to make any rational decisions on its own. It clearly cannot survive on its own. So, how exactly is it different from a fetus, then? Why is it ok to abort a fetus but not abort a six month old baby?

And yes, mother has rights. Forcing pregnancy on a person is a horrible thing, as it means they have no control over their body and that others are telling that person what she can or cannot do. But some rights are more important than others. A human life is more important than an inconveniance that lasts for nine months. It's a far greater breach of human rights to end a life than it is to force someone to have a "parasite" in the body for 9 months.

>> No.2660719

I live in a world where I find morals to be subjective, and merely codes that are mutually agreed on by society as a whole. And more people would find themselves agreeing if they really thought about it, I think.

People like to say that it's never okay to take the life of another person. Yet at the same time, war is somehow justified anyway. People say you can't put a price on an individual's life, yet their bank accounts remain lofty while children starve all over the world. People say that a person becomes human at conception, but we don't gain all our individual rights till decades later.

Of course, I'm generalizing what the majority of people think here, but these are common tensions in philosophy that many people have.The only real conclusion I can come to from all this is that there is no actual moral absolute.

So I can come to no conclusion where killing a fetus is inherently wrong. Circumstantially, killing a fetus could be more than acceptable. It all comes down to, however, what the terms of that are.

Why do you want her to get an abortion, OP?

Given that you asked this question on 4chan, I'll assume you're a malingering manchild who couldn't be trusted with a goldfish, and wouldn't accept the responsibility if offered. Why don't you make it clear that you're totally unready for fatherhood, and what's more, are likely to leave her if she does carry the baby to term?

>> No.2660741

>>2660711
There isn't a serious public debate about the moral implications of killing a 6 month old baby. Because it is considered something morally controversial, the abortion issue makes more sense as a personal one rather than a government one. We'll never agree on that, so if you want to move on to practical considerations I would cite the dangers of making abortion illegal. It's somewhat like what would happen if you made handguns illegal. People would still get handguns they'd just get them illegally, and that can get you killed. Same principle applies to abortions.

You're fucked. You can try to convince her, and good luck, but in the end its her decision and you're the one who's going to be financially responsible for it. You either need to ask her to marry so that you at least the upcoming burden is equally divided (and if you can get some kind of prenup, you'd be good), or be prepared to pay more than you earn each month in child support for the next 18 years.

If you try to talk her out of it, a scientific argument isn't going to work. At best, you can use a sociological argument that children who grow up in these kinds of circumstances are invariably fucked up and they don't have a chance. Planned parenthood is the only truly successful parenthood. She does not have a child. Repeat that to her again and again. She is faced with an opportunity to have a child, and she shouldn't want that right now. It's not responsible.

I hate that sort of argument. It is completely illogical.

It's like saying that we should legalize bank robberies, because people will always commit them, and at least this way no one would get hurt in the process.

Yes, if abortions were magically made illegal* (Which I don't think is going to happen anytime soon.), some women would do it illegally and might end up getting hurt because of the unsafe procedure. But a lot of women who would ordinarily abort their child would give up on doing so either for the fear of legal punishment of because the operation itself would be unsafe.


*Note: I am personally not for making abortions illegal overnight. It simply wouldn't work. I personally believe that a lot of effort should be put to positively discourage abortion instead of banning it. Teach the dumb kids about sex education so they use condoms and other kind of protection. If a woman does end up pregnant, give her alternatives to abortion if she's poor. Make it easier to give the child up for adoption. Give more money to orphanages so they can ensure that those kids grow up and one day become valuable members of society, support young mothers and young parent couples in general, especially if they're poor, so if they do have kids when they're young, that wouldn't mean they'd ruin their lives and be poor forever. I wouldn't mind paying slightly higher taxes if it meant to a more noble cause like this one. But then again, I'm a bleeding heart liberal.

The fetus is comprised of 50% of your genetic data and 50% of hers.
Thus, you are each accountable for 50% of the child and must contribute your 50% share to all child-related decisions.

Hello, readers and contributors of /sci/
I've just come across a conflict while doing my Statistics homework, that I don't know how to do a few of the problems. Would anyone be able to assist me here? Sadly there is no reward I have to offer, but knowing that you've done a good deed for the day and helped a high schooler with some homework. Four problems are below
Faced with rising fax costs, a firm issued a guideline that transmissions of 10 pages or more should be sent by 2-day mail instead. Exceptions are allowed, but they want the average to be 10 or below. The firm examined 35 randomly chosen fax transmissions during the next year, yielding a sample mean of 14.44 with a standard deviation of 4.45 pages. (a) at the .01 level of significance, is the true mean greater than 10? (b) find the right tail p-value

A coin was flipped 60 times and came up heads 38 times. (a) at the .10 level of significance, is the coin biased toward heads? Show your decision rule and calculations. (b) calculate a p-value and interpret.

The Web-based company Oh Baby! Gifts has a goal of processing 95% of its orders on the same day they are received. If 485 out of the next 500 orders are processed on the same day, would this prove that they are exceeding their goal, using a = .025?

An auditor reviewed 25 oral surgery insurance claims from a particular surgical office, determining that the mean out-of-pocket patient billing above the reimbursed amount was $275.66 with a standard deviation of $78.11 (a) at the 5 percent level of significance, does this sample prove a violation of the guideline that the average patient should play no more than $250 out-of-pocket? State your hypotheses and decision rule. (b) is this a close decision?

Here's the answer - there is no fucking way any small business would ever bother figuring it out this way. The boss would just walk in and say "You fuckers are costing me money - no more faxes over one page. Mail that shit". I bet you get extra credit.

Alright you fags, if you believe in abortion than answer me this:

say a time machine were to be build. Would you travel back into the past and abort yourself (pretend you're an abortion doctor who knows how to do this?)

I wouldn't say that's necessary. If we assume 2 temporal dimensions so timetravel would produce 2 different timelines, and that you can't ever revisit the original I don't think there'd be a problem with her dying without birthing me and me still existing.

How would you visit this other timeline? I picture the timelines ripping apart as you abort your mother.

>> No.2661691

>>2661589
The way I imagined it is that at the moment you travel back in time, you split it into two timelines, an original where you were born, and another where you weren't. You wouldn't be able to travel back to a previously visited timeline, but you'd be free to continue jumping, creating another timeline each time.

>> No.2661709

>>2661691
>and another where you weren't
this wouldn't be decided at the exact moment you travel back of course, but at the time you make it impossible for yourself to be born in that timeline.

Argue the economic angle first.
If that doesn't work argue the quality of life angle of how she will put the child through unnecessary hardship because of her selfish desires. (It's already quite clear neither of you are suitable parents.)
