I'd like to quote an authority of my own...Carl Sagan, who in "The Dragons of Eden" quite correctly points out that there is no such thing as "right to life" anywhere on *this* planet, except perhaps among the Jains of India. We kill animals and plants all the time, sometimes without even thinking about it. I think the correct phrase that the original author wished to use was "right to human life". Then, of course, we can all debate about the definition of "human". -- ---Rsk UUCP: { decvax, icalqa, ihnp4, inuxc, sequent, uiucdcs } !pur-ee!rsk { decwrl, hplabs, icase, psuvax1, siemens, ucbvax } !purdue!rsk Sometimes I feel like I'm fading away, Looking at me, I got nothin' to say.
