	"If both these "rational" arguments are acceptable, all we can conclude
	is that there must be a line somewhere between conception and birth
	where "humanity" starts.  I don't know where that line is, I don't
	think anyone else does, and I don't think defining such a point in
	law is a good idea."

I personally suspect that "humanity" starts after birth.  In that case, birth
is the last point I would say the potential_human isn't human, since it's hard
to tell at which point following it becomes so.
