How Old is "Viable"?
Tell me if this seems fair to you...
The average age of men in the USA today is 75 years old. OK, that is a statistical finding. Let's say you are 74 and 1/2 years old and someone tells you that you are slated for death because your average life span is over in a few months. And at 74 and 1/2 you are about to go over your time limit, after all. Statistically speaking of course.
Would you think that is fair?
Now let's say that, instead of being a 74 and 1/2 year-old man, you are a 5 and 1/2 month old fetus in the womb. And people tell you that the average age of "viability" is 6 months and it is time for an abortion for you because you just haven't reached that time yet ... statistically speaking.
Would you think THAT was fair?
I’m just wondering.
