- No. Because if the z/e/f were granted a right to life, that does not

- If you want to do such a silly thing, grant *me* the 'right to life'. And

- The potential/development/'rights' of the z/e/f is what's irrelevant. The
- crucial point is the COST to the bearer, and whether they are content to pay
- that cost, or not.
