Well, now I play the game where I continue to add one clarification after another, and add a few exceptions, so that those who are human are exactly who I want to be human, heh.
Actually, I don't want to get into a detailed arguement as to who is or is not a human with all of the rights pertaining thereto. My opinion is very similar to what Peter Singer wrote about in
Practical Ethics. The purpose of my post was to point out that although it may be very clear to defenderofthefaith when one's humanity begins, it's not so clear to the rest of us, or at least the defining criteria is a bit murky.
