Throwing someone off a cliff by considering not survive, as did the Spartans "is a brutal approach about life. However, it seems more honest fiercely culpable discourse that prevails in our modern societies.
In Sparta, the right to life of newborns was contingent on their ability to cope with the vicissitudes of life. No such requirement, and serve the hard-Spartan system meant to be viewed as burdensome by the cops, and be left to chance in a ravine.
Spartan selection logic "almost natural" was based on an almost vulgar honesty: the recognition that society and values \u200b\u200bSpartans had no room for weak or helpless. Without anesthesia seemed to say: If you are not healthy or strong, can do nothing for you but let your luck, because our society does not guarantee your future existence.
That discretion an warrior morality as Nietzsche clearly brutal and arbitrary, it is now considered by our society-perceived "more civilized and humane" - not only uncivilized, but eugenics and inhuman infanticide.
however, seems to be fiercely honest as culpable discourse that prevails in our modern societies.
why many will say? The difference is found in the same logic Spartan.
Unlike the Spartans, our societies, the presumed most advanced and modern, experience constant guilt about the situation of the helpless and unfortunate "the triumph of morality of the weak, Nietzsche would .
The problem is not that feeling is in itself, but most of the time, that compassion is rather rhetorical and not practical.
In this sense, the argument "pro" which posits that life-and-are entitled to it values \u200b\u200babove all other considerations, whether legal, ideological, religious, economic or clinic, and therefore must be protected at all costs, is in itself perfect. No one could say otherwise as the maximum value of human life.
But there is a gap not settled, that none of the self-proclaimed pro frentón tackles, and apparently the Spartans if faced-perhaps not in a civilized manner, but more courageous:
What happens to individuals after birth on especially with those whose existence may be more difficult once outside the womb from their mothers? Who really protect? What our society does to them?
Therein lies the flaw, almost cynical argument of self-proclaimed pro-life sectors. Like those who claim to egalitarianism, do seem rather abstract way. A vain. Never concrete.
For though argue that life must be protected from conception to spare no resources in their arguments almost entirely detach themselves from what it implies life beyond the womb. Above all, of those less fortunate by which modern society seems to do nothing.
That is, even if they want, its logic is the same as that of the Spartans, and even those who are in favor of abortion, "defend your right born, but I'll leave to your fate, because our society does not guarantee your future existence.
Then life, as advocated in the abstract, in practice, and once outside the womb, in many cases, especially when the future existence has been elucidated complex or laborious , hopelessly adrift and luck. That is, the designs of "natural selection."
Those who are protected before birth, once outside the womb, literally are abandoned to their fate, metaphorically thrown a symbolic ravine.
