OPINION:
The abortion fight goes on (“Supreme Court dismisses challenge to abortion pill,” web, June 13). Yet life does not begin at conception; it simply continues. This means that any living organism reading this letter is genetically linked to the earliest life on our planet.
What role a divine being had in creating life is the subject of religious arguments, but in America, a simple majority on our Supreme Court can opine answers to such questions, as well as unalienable rights.
The next hurdle society faces will come when science discovers the genetic combination that produces ideal humans for a totalitarian society. There will be no place for divine beings like God, Allah, Brahma or Vishnu then. Whoever squats on government’s throne will claim divine power.
Physicists propose the “big bang” theory to describe how the universe began, but they leave unanswered the question of how the “big bang” came about in the first place.
