In scenario B the baby cannot question the mother
Guess why and we'll pick it up from there.
PR, my guest in Scenario A, the reason the baby can
queston the mother.........From mothers point of view, she
does not want to go against nature and if it is in her destiny
that a deformed baby be born, she is ready to accept it
and hence does not want to take the medicine.
From the babys point of view, this is equivalent to any other
disease one can naturally get, such as fever, bp etc, if the
mother is a person who does take remedy for such thing (which she should be considering that she saw a doctor, if she was
a beleiver of relegion science, she would not have seen a doctor)
so it is just that she should have taken the medicine to avoid
the deformation.
It may sound dumb, but this is what I can come up with as of
now.
Re the second scenario, cannog guess why the baby does not
have the right to question.
Can you please answer for both scenarios the reason why
the baby has the right to question in first scenario and not in
the second?
