Exactly. It's very disturbing the way people keep trying to narrow the meaning of what really "counts" as human life. They choose some point later than the biological beginning as the starting point, and therefore justify abortion. Now, they are choosing some point earlier than the biological end as the ending point, and therefore justifying euthanasia. I keep seeing people arguing that the terminally ill and the incapacitated are not really "living" anymore and so it's OK to kill them. Just as they say that the pre-born are not really "living" yet so its OK to abort them. Honestly, if people are not really alive, why the need to kill them in the first place? Why the need for all these rationalizations?
