Utah Woman Charged With Murdering Fetus

[warch]

This general discussion reminds me of when we talked about refusing to serve a pregnant woman a drink. I would refuse to serve. But I would not desire law enforcement arrest her and charge her with a crime. I would not restrain and imprison her for the term of her pregnancy, force her under the control of government sanctioned treatment, have her sterilized, nor cut her open without her consent, no matter what is going on inside. Her envelope of skin. Her insides. Her body, her domain -until the baby is on the outside by her choice or by biological timing.

Perhaps the best thing would be for the government to require by law that all new life be created in vitro. Well monitored. Cleaner. Morally Crisp. None of that messy body threashold to deal with. (you could charge the lab tech that dropped the vial with murder- clearly)
And the government can penalize parents for not selecting the expertly defined "best" zygote for their offspring- because any crapshoot would be cruel to the new life. Or they could be fined or incarcerated for not producing a healthy female to balance out the projected census figures...
