This thread is pathetic. The only person offering any type of actual argument to thag is I Pukokeki Ioulo Momu. Everyone else is relying on throwing insults and basing their argument on "i disagree with him, so i hope thag dies" lol
How is wishing death on Thag based on his pov, any better or worse than him suggesting infanticide as a solution to the growing problem of population control? Both arguments end in death.

BTW, this has been practiced throughout human history in various cultures, and is still practiced today, although for different reasons (female infants in India are often killed because males are more valuable in their culture)
If you disagree with what he said than provide some argument why he is incorrect or some evidence that fetus "are people" or that they show more cognitive ability than thag is suggesting. Even better, ask him how he came to the seemingly arbitrary conclusion that the criteria for selection would be cognitive ability because there is no pre-established way to go about a depopulation process so anyone's argument could have as much validity as another's argument.
For example; just going off the thag's argument that a fetus has no cognitive ability a simple google search produced a study on fetal cognitive development and suggests

I will try to phrase it this way: few people have any problems with killing cows, pigs, chickens and other animals. More, but still very few people are concerned about killing chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, although those are are closest relatives. Then why should people object to the destruction of a mass of cells that is by no means more advanced in its cognitive development than a chimp, just because it happens to have almost the same 2 sets of 3.1 billion base pairs of DNA as the rest of us, whether it has came out of the uterus or not? It has the potential to become something at an advanced level of cognitive development, but so do the hundreds of millions of spermatozoids each of us kills every time we ejaculate.
All of that, when keeping it alive and giving it the same "rights" as the rest of us, only drives us towards extinction.... It is just insane...
