If you want to play a cold hard number game, there have been about 4,000 casualties so far (including 9/11), but 100 years from now, if we accomplish our goals, we can prevent dozens of potential attacks and prevent people from having to fear and be killed by ruthless governments. The trade is obvious.

Adding more death to a mix that is already bad, doesn't make much sense to me.

Odd question. But if they wanted to in the early stages, then so be it. It is what it is.

I like this reasoning from the Objectivist philosophy:
A fetus does not have a right to be in the womb of any woman, but is there by her permission. This permission may be revoked by the woman at any time, because her womb is part of her body... There is no such thing as the right to live inside the body of another, i.e. there is no right to enslave... a woman is not a breeding pig owned by the state (or church). Even if a fetus were developed to the point of surviving as an independent being outside the pregnant woman's womb, the fetus would still not have the right to be inside the woman's womb.
Like I said though, I could flip very easily on this as a Libertarian.
