...month old baby. Or maybe you maintain that because she does not take in food and oxygen through her mouth, she is not human. Yet if that is the case then a hospitalized person who takes in food intravenously or who is hooked up to a heart-lung machine relinquishes his humanity for that period of time. The belief that a fetus is sub-human because he does not look like us at all and because he does not breathe and eat the way we do and because he is not out here with us is as widespread...
