Is there anyone at all (besides the 2 I got) out there who discusses
things in a rational manner???  Anybody willing to state
where they're at???  Or are you all chickens?  At least the
people who participate in net.abortion a whole bunch should respond!
Here is my poll again:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that we will be two polarized groups of ranting idiots until
we get the basic assumptions in front of us.  I am conducting a poll.

A.	What does "human/person" mean? (a COMPLETE (enuf for you) definition)
B.	Why is a fetus/embryo a "person"?  (as many points as you can think of)
C.	Why is a fetus/embryo NOT a "person"?  (as many points here, too)

Please try to answer succinctly, with no propaganda or emotionalism.
Just state the beliefs that you hold, don't try to pile up evidence.
And both sides, try to answer both B and C.

I think that this will be followed by another poll, with more detailed
questions determined by the answers to this poll.  Please try to answer
quickly, so that there will be results.
