To further confuse things, weeks, for purposes of protection from damage by drugs, a fetus is covered from conception! In the future, medicine may be able to devise an artificial way of keeping embryos alive from any stage of development. Then the test of viability outside the mother becomes irrational. The answer? Biological life begins at conception but legally it starts at birth even though a fetus may have some legal rights from conception. I a fatus part of tha mother? Genetically, the baby is part mother and part father, you could think of it as a kidney transplant from a related person: it is genetically similar but not identical. . The baby spends its life defending itself against immune attack (or rejection) by its mother. RH disease is an example where the baby can lose that battle. So while the supreme court has ruled that a fetus is alive only when it has By DR. LEE S. BRILLIANT Raviaw Columnist reached the stage of development Nothing is more controversial where it can live outside of its than abortion. In this area fact has mother. This is generally accepted nothing to do with truth, nor at- to be at 25 weeks of pregnancy or when a baby reaches 500 grams (or titudes with actions. about 1 pound). Therefore, intenThere are many aspects to abortion which are not often talked ab- tionally terminating a pregnancy g out which are before 25 weeks is surgery, but and important to consider.

In essence, the law is contradictory, while for purposes of abortion a fetus is not protected until 25 consider birth to be the starting point of life. Certainly one cannot be a citizen of the United States, inherit property, receive social security, or file for welfare without a birth certificate. Nevertheless, you only have to ask a mother who has felt her baby move whether an unborn fetus is alive. By biological standards life begins at conception because an embryo can meet all the biological criteria, so must be qualified as (W thought-provokin- MORRIS the cat inspects the Award to be presented to the highest scoring cat ot Pet Pride's Sept. 19 Cat Show in Layton. judg-menta- IN LAYTON annual cat show on Sept. nails clipped. animals are ineligible.
