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." umcp-cs!bane 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.
