[ Post a Response | The Sublime Desire of Cigarette Smoking ]
Posted by vesperae A woman who chooses to have an abortion makes a definite, conscious decision about not allowing a potential child to go to term, which eliminates her responsibilities to the potential child. A woman who does want to allow her potential child to go to term implicitly accepts responsibility for the health and well being of that potential child. Each of these cases strike me as having profoundly different ethical implications for the behavior of the potential mother, because her intentions and subsequent responsibilities are profoundly different.

I believe that you cannot come to a comfortable acceptance of the Darker Dimensions of an attraction to smoking without thinking through the ethical implications of your behavior. So I think that this type of discussion is entirely on topic for this forum, and said so shortly after it opened, and did so again earlier in this thread.
