If a woman plotted with her doctor to kill her 3 year old daughter and set an appointment date at the clinic for the murder she would certainly be guilty of conspiracy to commit murder Yes. After setting the date or otherwise taking an overt action to further the conspiracy, but not before. That has no connection to your earlier statement - "Whenever an egg is fertilized one can be reasonably assured of a strong likelihood that the mother WILL develop a VERY specific "intent to do harm"." Your analogy is to a situation when the specific intent has already been developed and to an extent acted on". "Possibly (or even likely, or even definitely) will develop an intent" is very different than "has developed and acted on an intent". So again I respond - "Just as the mother may harm her unborn child, she might harm some other child, or an adult, whether or not she is pregnant. It doesn't make practical or moral sense to just assume she's going to do harm and preemptively disable her to stop it, absent specific evidence of an intent to do harm."
