Here is the question of the day: if body parts from about-to-be-born or just-born babies, why not from, say, two-year-olds?
Think of the advantages of such a process: mothers could have relief from two-year tantrum throwers. Poor families, especially single moms, would have fewer mouths to feed. Unplanned children could be planned out of the way. Plus, the blessing of the extra money derived from the sale of body parts and from tax breaks as well (based on savings from having to construct fewer elementary schools, provide free lunches, inoculations, etc.). A regular cottage industry! Not quite entrepreneurial—the fetal folk have that honor already, but a perfectly natural spin-off from the burgeoning abortion industry. Any astute business man could see that. As he does see the abortion industry.
The moral problem? “Moral,” patently, for moderns, is whatever I want to do, but for the few right-wing nut-jobs “clinging to their religion and their guns” here is our response: “Women have a ‘constitutional right’ (see Roe, dummy) to do with our bodies or anything in our bodies as we (bleep) well please. Nobody’s drawn the line as to the exact age of our child when we lose that right, so, who’s to say two is not a good number? Using our logic, nobody could ever say, ‘Well, the founding fathers certainly did not envision slaughtering two year olds and selling their body parts.’ Aha, but if our forefathers saw a constitutional right—as we know they did because the clairvoyant justices of the Supreme Court said they did!—to kill unborn babies inside, or just outside, our bodies, who’s to say, and on what grounds precisely, we don’t have a constitutional right to do the same to our two-year olds?’ I ask: did the justices (or anybody else!) draw the line at “leaving the hospital alive?” Nobody has any ground whatsoever for saying no about harvesting two-year olds. Iron-clad logic, I say.
“Surely, the man jests!” Indeed, in suggesting such a practice, I am guilty of jesting as cruelly as a man ever jested. But, honestly, what of the cruelty of selling fetal parts, which is more than cruel or barbaric; it is bestial behavior one associates with hyenas and not humans. I offer you, dear reader, a poser: which normal human, fifty years ago, in the sixties, would not have thought that the sale of fetal parts was just as incredibly cruel a jest. For the illuminati of our age, the laughable jest has become legal justice.
The precise point of my jest: who is it who believes that we have seen the last assault on the helpless for money? Who believes “this far and no farther?”
Alexander Pope’s memorable lines are apropos here:
In those brief lines, Pope well may have described the process of moral decrepitude and death both of humans and entire civilizations.
