Gosh! Message-ID: <3658@decwrl.UUCP> Date: Thu, 15-Aug-85 12:15:22 EDT Article-I.D.: decwrl.3658 Posted: Thu Aug 15 12:15:22 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 18-Aug-85 03:21:53 EDT Sender: daemon@decwrl.UUCP Organization: Digital Equipment Corp., Palo Alto, CA Lines: 21 From a recent Church newspaper: "Sixty prominent physicians have recently declared that the 'biological facts' show that the unborn are living human beings. The doctors, including two past presidents of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, signed a statement aimed at SHIFTING THE FOCUS OF THE DEBATE AWAY FROM RELIGION AND MAKING IT A BIOLOGICAL FACT. (italics mine) The statement says in part that 'a human ovum fertilized by a human sperm produces a BIOLOGICALLY IDENTIFIABLE (italics mine again,- Tanenbaum, et al take note!) human embryo. That embryo contains all the essential biological material and genitic information required for complete celular maturation, human tissue and organ development." I realize this doesn't fit some people's ideology! But let's realize that there ARE 'scientists' (wave your magic twanger, froggy!) out there who take the same stand as the anti-abortion people.
