gollark: Why *humans*, then?
gollark: Can you objectively prove that they have some sort of moral worth, though?
gollark: I see. Again, I'd say they aren't a person/child/whatever (but are a human body) at the time.
gollark: But you were saying that people should *not* have sex if they don't want children. Which stops those children who would otherwise exist from existing.
gollark: Can you show this objectively without Christian theology or something?
