That was an overly emotional response, if I do say so... Here's my solution to the problem. Yes, bear the children. As punishment, surgically remove the sexual offender's genitalia. The children will be given to the state, unless said mother wishes to keep said child, and placed in adoption. How's that for a modest proposal? (sure beats using the aborted fetus to make perfume)

Oocyte? I thought it was called a zygote. When did they change it from zygote to oocyte? Who decides these things and how high are they when they think up these words?

The answer is simply that Jews are fully human, as are the Blacks (in the U.S. connection) and homosexuals you mentioned. And the fact that irrational, ideological stipulations declared them not so does not change the fact. I agree. And I also agree that fetuses are fully human, and the fact that an irrational, ideological court decision declared them not so does not change the fact. You have still not anwered the question I asked: on what logical basis do you decide that Jews are human and fetuses aren't? You simply say it again as though saying it 40 times made it more true than saying it once. I hear you. You believe that Jews are fully human and fetuses are not. But I want to know WHY you believe that? What are your specific criteria for saying this set of complete human genetic material is fully human and this set is not? You still haven't answered this for me. Later in your message, once again you ascribe to me beliefs that I have never offered you and don't hold. Can you please stop doing this? It's hard enough to discuss these issues without that.
