Editor: I think the University of Utah student body must be made aware of the unjust and superficial nature and utility of Proposition 187 that was recently passed by the residents of California. As a former resident of California for over 20 years (of which seven were spent , in San Diego and in the Los Angeles, basin) my sentiments on Proposition 187 echo that of Mr. Scott Bcnnion (whose letter was printed in the Jan. 3, 1995 ' issue). I am disappointed, alarmed and concerned that such a proposition was passed and made into law. Will denying education and a health care to offspring of illegal immigrants truly solve ,; any problems? I think not! I have had the unique experience of witnessing the hard work and nature of many illegal immigrants in California (i.e. from Mexico).

My point is, how much precaution is necessary when human life is at stake, and have we taken that much? The The pivotal issue in the abortion debate seems to be, when does the life begin. Not when is the tissue alive (the fetus always retains that quality), but when is it actually a baby. I think that we all can agree .that killing a baby is murder, the taking of innocent life is always that I only wonder if we've taken very gender of a baby is determined at conception (whether the sperm is an X or a Y chromosome bearing one). When the age of the fetus is at three weeks it is already forming its brain, muscle and bone. At four to eight weeks of development, its heart starts to beat. The list goes on and on.
