Topic: Abortion
Quote: How about: A woman wakes up to find herself connected to a body. A body without a brain, which is using her own organs to be alive. Doctors are preparing to transplant a brain from a dying violinist into this new one connected to her and the date is set in the future. Would it be morally correct to disconnect herself and kill this body that has no identity, mind, consciousness or existence in actuality?
Response: Yes, in my view, it would be morally correct since it has no brain and, in my definition, is not a person with rights. However, if she doesn't want to support the violinist in that future, she has the responsibility to disconnect from (and therefore kill) that brainless body before the brain gets transplanted. Otherwise, if she waits to disconnect until it is too late, she would be guilty of killing the violinist (a person).
