- There's a thin line between killing and refusing to save a life
- which you seem to have ignored. In the cases of abortion and
- organ transplant from an anencephalic infant, you're talking
- about killing a living human being so that another may benefit.
- No matter how much you wish it to be, abortion is not "refusing
- to save a life", it is killing. Furthermore, Baby Theresa was
- not responsible for the condition of people who could have used
- her organs, nor was she even related to them.
