So, I've heard several pro-choice people express the viewpoint that even though the fetus is a living human being, it's still ok to kill him/her, because the fetus is biologically dependent on the mother. (Or something along those lines.)

And it got me thinking, because I was channel-surfing last week, and I came across a show about conjoined twins. On this show, there was a pair of women who could not be separated without the death of one. (But, it seemed that the other would survive such an operation.)

So, I wonder, should this woman have the legal right to demand her sister's death? (Since her sister is "biologically dependent" on her, so to speak.......and for a lifetime, not just 9 months.)

How do you determine who's body it is?

God is Love.

The question then becomes in all of life's circumstance, "what is the loving thing to do?"

That's a good question - I have no idea, but presumably the doctors (and patients) try their best in such situations.

According to choicers, the one who would die if separated is the one who is dependant on the other. She is the parasite who has no legal right to life if her sister so deems.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.

i think that's the key-point. a certain human being decides if another has the right to life. not "the law", not "the government", not "morals", but simply the wish of certain human being in a certain moment (we should consider that she might change her mind and regret the separation).
