Understand

Formosa Province has a population of 530,000. The province still consists partially of impenetrable forest where pumas, jaguars, alligators, and deer roam. The flora is very colorful, and includes many varieties of orchids. Unfortunately, some of the former quebracho tree forests have given way to large cotton plantations. Although the inhabitants refer to the interior as monte (mountain), the whole province territory is mostly flat. Some aboriginal tribes from the Chaco still live in communities in the interior of the province.

Climate

Formosa has a tropical climate. Winter is the dry period, which can last up to six months, at the end of which the rain comes down like a tropical deluge. Summer can be extremely hot with temperatures rising to 50°C (120°F). The best time to visit Formosa is during the winter months of June, July, and up to mid-August.

gollark: Analogously, I would say you should probably not be required to have someone grafted to your circulatory system and stuff for 9 months if this would keep them from an otherwise lethal disease or something. You maybe *should* morally, but this is a different thing (and I don't think that really applies in the fetus case, as it isn't much of a "person").
gollark: Actually, I seem to have misread your angle, so it isn't entirely relevant. But regarding "I'll tell them what not to do with others bodies. And the child is another body. It's medically provable.", I would argue that you should not be *required* to put up with fairly substantial health risks/inconvenience because the fetus requires being attached to someone to survive.
gollark: No, before murdering someone you have to do a MRI scan to check brain development.
gollark: There is a difference between "body" and even "human body" and "person".
gollark: It's historically important, at least.
