In my mail to you, I referred to a fetus inside a mommy as a VIRTUAL parasite (I did *NOT* call it an outright parasite) If you look at the definition of a parasite, something that lives off of something else, you will see my point. A fetus DOES live off the mother. Take the mother away and the fetus is dead. Before you go blasting my ideas and trying to embarass me publicly, why not think first? Adam (P.S. Just because my address is alice!alb doesn't make my name Alice. Where did you come up with that?!) ----------
