faculties are not a full person and may be sentenced to death. That is what George Bush had decided in Texas. He found he could save on prison food bills because the retarded saved extra food for after the execution. From a legal sense, safeguards are put in place for those fetuses who are born regardless of their condition. To do otherwise could lead to people who did not want a child to induce brain damage in order to legally dispose of them. That is not likely to fit any ethical standards in the U.S. The time to dispose of a fetus needs a well defined boundary which is well before the point that the thing becomes self aware. I maintain that the time that is most easily judged is birth. Any dispute over birth comes down to a matter of minutes while nearly any other dispute falls into broad ranges of times and developments that can never be adequately qualified. Prior to birth (which I would define as when the cord is cut) the fetus is a parasite on the mother, it's fate it determined by how much the mother wants to bring it to birth. After birth it becomes a legal person, eligable for tax deductions and wistful dreams about social security. TP
