The last few posts have brought to light some of the interesting dichotomies that plague America today... On one hand, we are taught to believe that we are the most advanced in terms of human rights, given our long-standing commitment to and foundation in the concept of freedom (i.e. see Constitution and Bill of Rights). Yet, at the same time, while we sometimes over-value life, for example, the debate on stem cells, at other times, we just as easily undervalue it, for example see the value of a mexican post.
What kind of culture do we live in where an unborn fetus that is only a few cells large has more rights than an actual human being?
