Little known fact: Eggs are unfertilized.
Most eggs are infertilized.

Do you feel bad when you see a bird die? How about if you happen to kill one, knowingly or unkowingly?

What people actually care about, though they aren’t able to articulate...is when the sole attaches
I feel like there's a great #bootstraps joke here to be made.
By your answer, may I infer that you would feel bad if the bird wasn’t injured? Would you say it is unethical to kill a bird without cause?
You thought the eggs you buy at a grocery store were fertilized and I’m the one out of my depth?
I see. Tell me more about your views.
You are talking about whether the cause is just. That’s a fine discussion to have, but I am simply trying to ascertain whether you think a fetus is something whose existence has some sort of value that should be weighed against the mother’s interest, whatever that may be.
It sounds like you think a bird’s life has that value. Does a human fetus?
I don’t think it is my job to say whether any given fetus has value or not.
All your doing JB by asking this series of questions I s articulating the cultural norms that I said exist in the first place. We’ve created this cultural aversion to something that is natural and happens in human biology, and in many other animals, all the time.
I’m not on JB’s side of this argument in general, but there are all kinds of things that happen in nature that we have aversions to. Like dogs eating their own poop, lions ripping out the throat of gazelles, boas squeezing the life out of muskrats, etc. Saying that it’s natural is not much of a defense.
People die all the time from natural causes. Is murder a cultural fabrication?
