How can this be equated with abortion? The child is not being killed. Perhaps I don't know enough about the discussion. *shrug*

But I do know that Christ is the Lord of the living and the dead. He has set the times and boundaries for every individual. Does that mean that this excludes preventative measures we take to prolong an ill person's life? Of course not. God doesn't just snap his fingers and pop things into existence, after the Creation of course ; he uses means. But according to what you said it seems like it would also be wrong to try to alter the "natural" process of anything, including medicine, using chemicals for plants and livestock, etc. What makes children special in this regard?
