Or duck. E, I take your point about the duck. I agree that the notion of a soul is the most likely explanation for someone's adamance that a fetus is a person. But I don't think it's the only one, in theory at least. When I was closer in age to birth than to death, as is Tim, I had a lot of sentimentality about the wonder and possibilities of life. I've said a couple of times on this thread that even now I get a twinge of guilt when I cut back a house plant without rooting the clippings. Yet, as you know, I don't have an ounce of religiosity in me. That's why I don't rule out the possibility of other explanations for the notion that a fetus is a person. The reason that I popped into your conversation was that much of Tim's posting on this subject has been addressed to me so I've probably been paying closer attention to his details than someone who is just reading along. Tim has stated that he's not all that religious. It's certainly possible that he's lying or lacks self-knowledge, but I have no choice but to take him at his word. Karen
