"Not in this instance , no . It isnÂ ’ t trying to parallel pregnancy per se ( though it is most relevant for us if we take it as only 9 months ) , but trying to parallel the moral scenario of having a person attached to you against your will and without your consent . If the pro-life mantra is to be believed , it is never correct to disconnect someone if they will die if you do . So , the argument is applicable for 9 days , 9 months , 9 years or forever ."
"First , I think you may have misunderstood the `` pro-life mantra `` seeing how many pro-lifers think it permissable to disconnect life-support systems in certain circumstances , which necessarily results in a person 's death . But nevertheless , I think we agree that for purposes of the abortion discussion , it is a closer analogy to assume the violinst is only connected for nine months , and no longer than if we assume the violinist to be connected for some other arbitrary period of time . Am I correctly discerning an agreement on that ?"
