we were taught some stuff abt abortion during bio class todae, including topics like whether abortion is ethical and shld parents know whether their daughter is going for abortion. the core of the lesson was the video that J Chong showed us. i am rather traumatized by it lar, seriously. here's how abortion actually happens:
1) Some instruments are inserted into the uterus, then the suction tube which will tear and dismember the baby's body apart later on.
2) The tip of the suction tube is run back and forth the amnion to break the membrane.
3) The baby is seen (on the ultrasound machine) to be VERY agitated, struggling about, trying to survive. It's kicking all over the place, mouth agap.
4) The suction tube finally sucks the hands, the legs and the torso of the fetus away into a pack.
5) The remaining head is too big for the tube, thus a calliper or sth like that (has flat tips) is clipped arnd the head.
6) The cranium is crushed and life is taken away from the baby. just like that.

The doctor who did the abortion(and had done 10,000 previous ones) saw this video while it was still being edited for the documentary. He never did another abortion. The most traumatising detail of this documentary was the part when the baby's mouth was wide open and struggling for its dear life. The silent scream. It's trying to survive, but no one hears its misery.
Well, for myself, I feel that we do not have the right to decide whether another being lives or not, even when you know that he might grow up to suffer. I really dun think I have to explain myself using justification or wad stupid examples and blah blah blah. Pure human instinct tells me and i believe, a lot of people out there that this is completely immoral. it is not ethical. it's just not humane to do this. i dun have to prove myself. Tell me, imagine you were the baby, there's this damn tube trying to break the wall that u have been living in for months, rubbing back and forth frantically and you know it's gonna tear your limbs apart in a matter of minutes and finally something's gonna crush your brain. how would you feel huh? if you really dun feel anything, i suggest you go to the clinic and do a full body check up at once. chances are: you are not a homo sapien.
I was suprised ppl still could be smiling after watching the video... it's just not right. haix. i think i am gonna go crazy at the philo class abt this topic man.
