- Hm. I thought Gordon was of the opinion that *no* human being had the
- right to inhabit another human being's body against that human's will.

- Saying that I think that some human beings don't have human rights is
- inaccurate, as I don't think that one's rights or lack of them have
- anything do to with whether or not one is a member of homo sapiens
- except insofar as one's "humanness" correlates with one's
- "personhood". That is to sau. I think that rights derive from being a
- person, not from being a human.
