In what way do you see them as independent? I concede that they can breath on their own, but there's not much else a newborn can do on its own. A baby right out of the womb certainly can't provide for itself and will likely die if left alone. How is it more independent now than before? With regards to the umbilical cord, would you consider killing a baby who is out of the womb yet still attached via this cord as morally the same as taking the morning after pill?
Physically. They're no longer physically attached to their mothers. Probably not. But I'm still just considering the idea that a baby attached at the umbilical cord isn't alive yet. Actually, y'know what, get back to me on this in the morning. I need some time to think.In what way do you see them as independent?
