Alex: Does society (i.e. other individuals) have the right to tell a free woman what she can and cannot do with her body? NO. Therefore, in the hypothetical scenario you have postulated I see these possible solutions: 1. She can have the baby and then rely on private charity to help them both. (Perhaps the Catholic Church since they oppose abortion and gene therapy.) 2. She can abort the fetus, then go to confession. 3. She can have the fetus gene-spliced with qualities to make it the perfect Pope, then wait for it to grow up and ask it for absolution. 4. She can have the fetus repaired and then cloned into octuplets thus guaranteeing millions $$$ to ensure the babies' upbringing. 5. She can have the baby, then claim it is the result of a union between her and the ghost of Elvis. She can raise the baby on the proceeds earned from selling her story to the tabloids. 6. She can renounce Catholicism, save the baby, become a daughter of Satan, write lyrics for new Black Sabbath songs, then embrace the darkness and joyfully commit herself to the ranks of the legions of the damned, descend to the underground lairs of the Lord of Darkness, reside happily in Hell and dance the Rapture of Salome upon steeped beds of hot coals at the cloven feet of her laughing Master at the ribald urgings of chittering daemon's thrusting pitchforks at her for all eternity. Frankly, if she has any brains, she'd pick number 6. Father Terrence
