- But how do you know this without a proper investigation? A human
- being has died, by your definition. Are you seriously suggesting that no
- attempt at all should be made to determine whether or not the death of a
- human being is accidental or not? This would be a radical change from
- current legal procedure.

- Who said anything about "excessive"? As I pointed out earlier, by
- your definition any substance ingested by a woman in being force-fed to a
- minor child. Are you saying that it's OK to force-feed alcholol to a child
- as long as it's not "excessive"? And if not, please reconcile your last
- sentence with your claim that zygote = embryo = fetus = minor child, legally.
