What Are You Saying: That the Beginning of Life is Accorded a "Moral Status"?

    If you have ever had a deep discussion with a committed Liberal, have you ever been incontrovertibly amazed by the whole of their sophistry, and have ever wondered: How did this individual become this person with this brand of intellect?

    Of course, this depends on the relative intellectual depth of an individual, or lack thereof; however, I am an optimist, and I do like to think the best of people until I learn differently. That well considered, I generally like Liberals; mostly find them entertaining, or humorous, whether I am laughing with them or at them; however, today, I was completely astounded by the depth of the unmitigated sophistry of Princeton philosophy professor Elizabeth Harman as she explains the "moral status" of a fetus.

Actor James Franco and associate, Eliot Michaelson, discusses the 'Irrelevance of life to a Liberal Woman', as explained by Princeton philosophy professor Elizabeth Harman; it is a judgement thing contingent upon her view of whether the fetus does or does not enjoy selective "moral status": Below.

    Watch the video, and see if you see what I see: It is a convoluted explanation as to what constitutes one's humanity, or as Ms. Harman explain's it "moral status"; but, if you listen closely, the Liberal Professor ends up arguing against herself, which is a remarkable feat since she is the frumpish professor of philosophy at a once proud Ivy League University.

    I would argue the rights of the fetus, and that it does deserve "moral status", but that would be a redundancy of a common intellect that should be inherent within all decent human beings. What concerns me is that this professor has the job of influencing young minds, and because of her lofty status, undeserved or no, she does, and will continue to make her egregiously poor indelible mark.
