That was your premise. It wasn't an assumption that was agreed to by me or by Steve. I don't accept that premise. And neither does the definition of the word.

What about someone who shoots a conjoined twin.
I guess it would matter whether the twin was a fetus or not.


No fetuses involved in either situation.

Apparently birth is not an important distinction for you, but rather attachment. Conjoined twins are attached.
