Trouble in Embryo

Given the healthy ideological overlap between climate deniers and coathanger fans, it appears that something of a moral dilemma may be incubating in South Korea. Legal representatives of sixty-one children under eleven, as well as a twenty-week foetus, are challenging the state for failing to curtail emissions sufficiently to guarantee future generations their basic constitutional rights. Although the idea of granting rights to children under seventy and outside a certain income bracket may be alien to all that the sclerotic World Cop by the grace of Baby Jesus stands for, the Christian insistence on prioritising the rights of potential human beings over those of the merely sentient may yet yield some amusing twists, especially when brought up against the human rights of corporations.
