This isn't about any of that. This is just a, hey this is interesting. Only you thought of abortion. And btw, yes, an ectopic pregnancy is reason for abortion. And yes it happens to married, straight couples that want kids. But in the event the worst happens, and the woman's life is threatened, it should be on the table.

The TIL bit, is that the placenta does not develop directly from the mothers body, but rather the egg, as part of its development, differentiates cells into the placenta AND the fetus directly. This only happens to fertilized eggs, so the mother cannot do this on her own. My naive ass thought the placenta was grown by the woman's body. It is not.

So you agree with me then that stealing food if you are starving is different from stealing music you don't need but want? We could argue the ethics of homelessness, but we aren't. We are talking about piracy of unnecessary things. You can rationalize it however you want, but it is theft.

You don't need art to live. It isn't food, or water, or shelter. Your desire to have it does not give you a right to steal it, regardless of the artist. There is no justification for it morally or ethically. Your inability to afford it or unwillingness to support the artist, does not give you carte blanche to steal it.

No, they didn't. The question is should you even enjoy or listen to music created by problematic artists. Mozart was an asshole. Wagner was an antisemite. We still listen to their music and enjoy it apart from the composer. That has nothing to do with the moral question of whether stealing a product is justified or not.

Metformin in combination with some kind of statin to lower cholesterol is common as well. I have that combination, and another side effect is dumping syndrome which also lowers your bodies ability to absorb nutrients. I was not told ever to supplement with B12, but I already supplement with other multivitamins to offset what I lose by dumping.

I know that others in the thread have said the same, but it bears repeating. Every time I read some post about Cargo Cults, I answer the same way lol.
