Unwind by Madeline Weibelt https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy Is the act of unwinding murder? Yes. en-us 2018-10-18 18:08:48 UTC 2023-05-06 02:44:08 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Babyhead.png Unwinding madeline_weibelt https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/294544773 The act of unwinding is murder and should not be considered a justified replacement for abortion, nor does it support the right to life. The child has no say in the value of their life. 
The act of unwinding is not a just action because "[the child] didn't ask to be born, and [the child] didn't ask to be unwound, either" (Shusterman 95).

Just because the physical part of the person's body is preserved and lives on through another body does not justify the action of unwinding. The child is still murdered because their soul no longer exist in this world. This goes against most religious beliefs on human life. If there is no soul, then there is not a person, only a body; therefore, that person's life is still being taken from them. Despite which religion (Christianity, Judaism, etc.) one follows, there is a common belief that a person's life is sacred and should not be shortened because that hinders God's plan.

Rise is not given a justifiable reason to be unwound. No reason to unwind someone is justifiable. Risa is very talented; however, her small mistakes were translated into her being "not good enough." ]]> 2018-10-18 18:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/294554386 Storking madeline_weibelt https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/294557800 In this society, storking is a better option because it is not murder. Storking a child does not take away their life and rights as a person. ]]> 2018-10-18 18:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/294557800 Government madeline_weibelt https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/294558366 The government sees unwinding as a viable option to uphold the right to life. The government believes unwinding is not murder because the body parts of the unwound child lives on through other people. This belief is wrong because the child is killed in order for his or her body parts to be harvested for other people. Also, many organs cannot be transplanted; therefore, many of the unwound child's organs are wasted. ]]> 2018-10-18 18:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/294558366 Video madeline_weibelt https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/295244704 This short film based on the novel Unwind shows the government's opinion on unwinding and the recipient's opinion. The government does not see the fault in unwinding, but the recipient knows it is murder even if the government will not admit it.]]> 2018-10-21 22:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/295244704 Connor madeline_weibelt https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/295282999 The act of unwinding is murder because the child does not have a decision in whether or not he or she wants to stay alive. The outcome of their life is put into other people's hands, making their lives less valuable then others. Connor is not able to decide if he wants to be unwound or not. He is supposed to go through with it because it is his parents' order.]]> 2018-10-22 03:35:02 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/295282999 Lev madeline_weibelt https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/295283594 Lev is supposed to be unwound at 13 because that is the "purpose" of his life. Supposedly, Lev's purpose in life is to die. Unwinding is not the purpose of living because that would mean that Lev only has death to look forward to. Life is meant to be spent with people you love, not spent thinking about dying. ]]> 2018-10-22 03:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/madeline_weibelt/nbabo20v7hhy/wish/295283594
