wo points here:

1. The notion that a fetus is a human being from the minute it is conceived is contrary to early church teachings. No less than Thomas Aquinas believed that there was no soul until the fetus "quickened," i.e. couild be felt moving around by the mother.

2. When JJ talks of "the handicapped" he does so with a brod brush. I blew out an ACL about 14 years ago in a ski accident and I cannot run, ski or put much stress on it without having great pain, and often for no particular reason it hurts badly enough that I limp. I also have to be careful going down stairs. This is a mild "handicap" but nothing compared to Stephen Hawking. Accordingly I believe JJ's inclusion of "handicapped". in his analysis is imprecise at best .
