I had a conversation with a religious person, and he claims that anencephalic fetuses shouldn't be aborted because we don't kill handicapped adults or adults who will die very soon so why should we kill handicapped fetuses who will die a couple of hours or days after birth. How do you actually counter that argument? For me it goes without saying that if you discover 20 weeks into pregnancy that the fetus lacks a big part of its brain and skull, you won't decide to carry it for 20 more weeks, give birth to it and then watch it die (they don't feel pain, though, because they don't have forebrain so it's not a painful death). I don't even know how to verbalize why you shouldn't do it, it looks so obvious to me. Any ideas?
