>Russell- Are you implying that people who are not conscious are
candidates for a killing(or should be)? In attempt to answer your
question I give the following. I read to my son before he was born. At 7
months he would start kicking around in the womb when he heard my voice
after coming home from work. And for bragging purposes he was 10 lbs at
birth. Have you ever seen fetuses dodge needles in the womb? I dont know
where to start or begin.
