Reasoning
Currently, we only protect the Human who exists. Yet we disregard the one who is destined to exist. But in a single question lies the understanding of the value of the one who does not yet exist and who is to come.
Please understand this! Understand it, for it will profoundly change the way you see the child an embryo is destined to become. (II, III).
Whom do we seek to protect when we want a child to be here tomorrow?
If you protect this young woman, shouldn't you also protect this other one?
Protecting the young woman the embryo is destined to become necessarily entails protecting the embryo itself.
Currently, we consider only the Human who exists. Therefore, in the case of the embryo, the focus is placed solely on what exists, that is, on the embryo itself, and the question is:
"Is the embryo a Human?"
Understanding today the value of the Human to come, we understand that the embryo must be protected, because:
"Tomorrow, the embryo is a Human!"
Asserting the existence of a Human's Right, and then determining which Human possesses that Right:
"The One the embryo is destined to become has the Right to be here tomorrow!"
"To protect the embryo because of the Right of the One it is destined to become to be here tomorrow"
The Right to exist of the Human who doesn't yet exist can likewise be understood by questioning the act that yesterday may have deprived another of being here today:
- 10 years ago, an accident was narrowly avoided. You would not have accepted that this young man had been killed in that accident. But: why?
- Because otherwise, he would not be here today enjoying his life.
- So you recognise that 10 years ago, this young man had the Right to be here today?
- Indeed.
- However, 10 years ago, did this young man exist at that time?
- No, he did not. 10 years ago, this young man was yet to come.
- This young man was also yet to come 21 years ago. Didn't he have the same Right to be here today at this time, 21 years ago?
- Certainly! The same person cannot be treated differently because of the given moment.
- However, 21 years ago, this young man was only an embryo.
FURTHER READING
The crown is also to be placed on the head of the One to come.
We must not kill because of all the life people have yet to live.
In the name of this Right, it is the presence of this child along this path that is to be protected.
The embryo is a child tomorrow. And yet, since this child does not yet exist, we have always acted as if she deserves no consideration — as if she has no rights.
However, the point we have never fully grasped is that the person we consider in each of us is not only the one we are today — who exists — but also the one we are destined to become tomorrow — who does not yet exist.
take Action
We cannot let our society fail to recognize a Human and dispose of him as though he had no right to exist.
Recognizing the value of the Human to come calls for action to ensure that his right to exist is recognized by law.
