    Tapeworms are full of human DNA as well (your blood)

    Which one contains human DNA?

      Actor best known for playing laughably dumb characters, turns out to actually be laughably dumb.

      Playing to his strengths, I suppose?

        as soon as the news came out about him attending a far right church of his brothers, and him whining about not getting “lead roles” broke his mind.

          i could understand attending your brother’s church to support your brother (and give them advice). if one of my siblings (not the dipshit one) was clergy of some sort or a church musician and i lived nearby, and their church was not preaching something absolutely repellent, yeah i’d goto support them. i know what it’s like to be performing to an empty room. i have not had the heart to check my internet viewership at the last church.

    Ya know? Gotta say…when I watched the pro-life vs pro-choice clash thats been taking place the past 10 years, I didn’t see this coming. I’m usually pretty good about seeing things coming, but I had no clue that the end game of abortion bans was just a ploy to save tapeworms inside peoples bodies.

    Didn’t see that one coming.

    Your body is a temple for the tapeworm. God sees you when you murder His precious tapeworms, and you’ll be made to answer for your sins when that big ole judgin’ shindig in heaven goes down. Can’t say I didn’t warn ya.

        Def restrict them, feeding them by the fuckton to cattle because you’re too lazy to figure out a way to keep that many of them in sanitary conditions is how you get civilization-ending superbugs.

          Yes, the widespread misuse and abuse of antibiotics is a huge problem. Don’t tell the antivax RFK fans about it though, you’ll give them new ideas.

          Wouldn’t it be nice if more folk were just reasonable about things? Life would be so much easier and more fun.

            Nonviable:

            1. Not capable of living or developing.
              ”a nonviable fetus.”
            2. Not workable or practicable.
              “a nonviable idea.”
            3. Not viable: not capable of independent life; not practicable.

              Thanks for the definition

              I think abortion is wholly different from getting a nonviable fetus removed as it cannot develop nor live

                All fetuses are non-viable without being allowed parasitic access to the mother’s bodily resources.

                  This is really the whole thing, regardless of how developed the baby is.

                  Imagine a fully formed child or adult with a liver problem. Science comes up with some way that someone of similar genetics can be physically connected to them and filter their blood for them and keep them alive while they wait for a transplant. Should the person who can physically sustain another person’s body be legally required to do so?

                  So far, less invasive versions of this say no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFall_v._Shimp

                  You can’t even force dead bodies to donate organs.

        I am curious, how do you feel about IVF? Should infertile people get to do it? It destroys embryos in the process. And it’s “playing god.”

            My first challenge to you would be to go look into the eyes of infertile people and tell them that “not everyone deserves a child, it’s not a right, it’s a gift.”

            It’s easy to argue on the internet behind your keyboard. Much much harder to say your shitty beliefs out loud in front of people.

            Here is my second question for you. A hypothetical.

            You are at a fertility clinic, and a fire breaks out. You run past a room almost engulfed by flames, and see a little 4-year-old child in there, screaming for help.

            As you go to rescue this child, you notice that the other side of the room has hundreds of embryos in Petri dishes. Babies, according to your beliefs.

            You only have time to save one of those things. A 4-year-old child or hundreds of babies.

            Who do you save? Be honest.

              1. I could and would say “Hey, I don’t think IVF is moral. I don’t think murder is justifiable.”

              2. I do not have time to save hundreds of petri dishes at once. IVF is also immoral as it creates so many human persons and only chooses one to live. I call the fire department after saving the child and pocketing as many petri dishes as I can

          As to the “playing god” thing, I was actually quite amazed at how touchy the IVF doctors were about that issue. They had some interesting rules about what they would and wouldn’t tell the parents about the offspring options. I’d have to go ask my friends about it again for all of them, but I remember one of the rules was the doctors wouldn’t tell them the color of the eyes before choosing.

            I believe that ethical doctors do this. I also believe there are some unethical doctors out there who don’t give a shit and allow their patients to select for all kinds of traits. Ultimately, there is no way to know unless someone talks about it.
