What has to go “right”, though? I think that presupposes an idealised state of human development that can be deducted from. I’m not sure what the neutral form is for a human, but those kind of beliefs are so common I wonder if the pathology is baked-in, so to speak.
Plus, some people really do think embryos are people! They get triggered by abortion as if you killed their dog in front of them. I happen to think they’re wrong, but the urge to anthropomorphise things is very strong, and there’s at least some logic behind their belief.

Yes, and some are flat-earthers (truly) and Trump supporters, and some compulsively eat dirt. That’s kind of the point. Insanity is strange and we want to understand it better.

I’m English, that’s how I spell it. You’ve outed yourself as a bit of a twat, so I’m going to leave it there.
Whereas you don’t think mental illness exists. I guess we all have our burdens to bear.
Of course I do! You must have misunderstood me. Not to worry, though.
