Mike Dolan claims that he is not guilty of the slippery slope fallacy, but
it seems that he is. Unless he is willing to say that a fertilised ovum is
a person just as a newborn child is. If it is not, then there is the slope.
Perhaps he could just clarify:
	Is a fertilised ovum a person?
If yes, he must establish this on something other than "a baby just born
is a person, a baby just before birth is a person, .... , and so a foetus
is a person!" Because this is a slippery slope argument, and he claims he
isnt using one.
