“I live in Florida, and over the summer months, sea turtles are laying eggs. The turtles are highly illegal to touch, ESPECIALLY the eggs. If I were to theoretically start digging in a sea turtle nest at the beach, I will find these eggs not far underground. If I were to precede to stomp on the eggs and crush them, ultimately killing the baby sea turtles, I would be arrested immediately -- it is five years of jail and a $5,000 fine to even touch one egg. Why is this protection not the same for a child? After all, a baby sea turtle cannot survive outside of the egg, much less outside of its buried nest. Does that make it any less of a turtle? I would love to know your perspective on this law. Should it be taken away to match the laws regarding baby humans?”

The analogy of sea turtle eggs brings an interesting perspective, but it's not entirely equivalent. Sea turtles are a protected species due to their dwindling numbers and threats to their survival, which is why their eggs are protected by law. Humans, thankfully, are not endangered.

However, the point you are making, about the value of life in all its forms and stages, is quite valid and worthy of discussion. But it's also essential to remember that humans have a complex societal structure and rights that extend beyond survival, including autonomy, dignity, and personal freedom.
