Show me these "silly webs", Sophie.  When someone takes a 6-week fetus
out of a woman's body and it "lives", then it would be worthy of calling
it alive.  Until then, refrain from accusing other people of "resorting
to lies" when they have shown evidence to support their position, OK?
The fact the the fetus requires the environment of a human being's body
to provide it with support tells me quite clearly that it is not alive.
If you disagree with that notion, fine.  That goes against definitions of
life as we know it, but that's OK, the net is full of people who make
up their own definitions at whim.  [FLAME OFF]
