...realizing that Whitewater could be a drain forever, McDougal decided to sell the remaining lots to Chris Wade, the Whitewater broker who had bought Lot 7. The payment: the assumption of $35,000 in bank debt plus a used Piper Seminole airplane, valued at $35,000 by Wade. McDougal took the plane, and Wade began making at least some payments on the debt. Citizens Bank, however, did not release either the McDougals or the Clintons from liability for the full amount of the loan...

Wade was able to sell all of them by the time McDougal closed on his own purchase, netting McDougal a handsome profit without ever having put his capital at risk...
...mother's womb doesn't mean that it has life or even a self. The fetus, in fact, does not and should not even have any legal rights apart from the mother until it has reached a state of viability, defined by the Supreme Court in Roe v Wade as the ability of the fetus to survive on its own or with the aid of machinery if extracted from the womb. It is true, though, that because of technological advances in the coming decade or two, almost every fertilized egg will be able to develop independently outside of the womb...
