Lines: 15 Your definition would essentially make abortion illegal. Brain waves have been measured in the fetus as early as 8 weeks. That probably means that there have been brain waves present already -- maybe even as long as two weeks earlier. Seeing as that's about the earliest a woman finds out that she's pregnant... At the Pregnancy Aid Center, we have the Time-Life pictures of the developing unborn (*no* abortion pictures!). They quite neatly do away with any of the "glob" and "fetal" tissue arguments. -Liz -- Univ of Maryland, College Park MD Usenet: ...!seismo!umcp-cs!liz Arpanet: liz%umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay
