Again, Mr. Silverstein, in calling those concerned about EVERYONE's human rights fanatics imposing their ethics on everyone, displays the usual myopia by focussing on one party in the issue without considering EVERYONE, such as the fetus. Whether the fetus is human or not is indeed the question, for a definitive answer would terminate this discussion. Society already imposes a form of ethics on everyone by outlawing theft and murder and fraud, and the question is not whether such things are wrong, but whether the fetus comes under it's moral and legal jurisdiction. If humans are being killed, we want to stop it. If that's fanaticism, then I gladly accept the term. I'm in good company. Gerald Owens Owens@gatech
