Touching. You remember that thread about moral relativism? This ^ is what I mean.

You've decided that her life is not worth sustaining and that the only reason to do so is to part her out. I'm not sure you fully grasp how repelling such a notion is.

How is calling a shell a shell repelling?

It is a biological fact that we are made up of lots of things. That's not what we are talking about. However, you've reduced human life to something no more meaningful than a junked car. That's a very troubling opinion.
