- Oh, but the death happened *BY CHOICE* of the parents. So I ask, what
- difference does one hour *before* birth and one hour *after* birth really
- matter in terms of whether the child should be respected?

- child, but a clump of cells, and isn't worth squat until birth, doesn't
- much sound like "progress," either.
