I had replied to a previous article about definitions privately;  but given
your atricle, I've decided to share it with the entire group.  I propose
the following (similar) definition:

	A fetus becomes a human when the ambilical cord is cut.

My reasoning is as follows:

	I believe that the fetus is mearyl one of the woman's appendages, similar
	to a finger etc.  If the woman feels that (for what ever reason) she
	no longer desires to have this appendage attached to her, then it should
	be removed.


Always open for a sound, unemotional, logical debate,
