"But stress a child , it would be wrong to judge a child by the circumstances of its birth but as a developing embryo I do not think it can be treated the same way . Adoption may be preferable if possible but if someone is causing harm , albeit even unintentionally they are still responsible . The whole idea of manslaughter is based around this , without even going on to criminals being a product of their environment - they may have had apparently little choice in their crimes . This does not exempt them from punishment though - they serve to prevent future crimes or to stop the contining harm being caused ."
