If you had *perfect foreknowledge* of its actions. If you knew that having sex with this woman on this day would result in a baby who would grow up to kill, and that you wouldn't be able to successfully teach it not to kill, and you go ahead and have the baby, then you would have some responsibility for the eventual murder. Theoretically the baby still has responsibility for the murder. I guess you could say every person who makes a choice knowing that they will lead to bad consequences (or for humans, knowing that they might or probably will lead to bad consequences) has some responsibility when those bad things happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "A Civil Religious Debate" group.
