A. Here's a better vatiation: The world is rational. We have explored the impact this assumption has made on western culture since it was first enunciated in the sixth century before the birth of Christ. As we approach the twenty-first century the west still holds to that assumption. But the world that is emerging out of the collapse of the cold war will include more non-western peoples than western cultures. Will this new world culture hold with the assumption? It may be difficult for anyone who flies in a jet aircraft, or surfs the Internet to believe otherwise. It would be like a jet pilot joining the flat earth society.

A. This is a really good question and one of the hardest to answer because there is no real answer. You present an interesting idea but I am not sure that a black and white definition beyond what the Supreme Court has decided could or will ever be made. How do we balance science, religion, right to life, and freedom of choice while preserving the rights of all involved? We cannot. Any "solution" will be objectionable to at least one of the groups - just as it is now. A fetus seems to only have rights and recognition of its life when an act of violence is committed against the mother results in its unwanted death or when it survives past the date when it can be legally aborted. Pure science recognizes fertilization of the egg as the… [cont.]
