The State of Hawaii has ruled that it is not a human being "yet".

Have they determined when it IS a human being?

Isn't it odd that the medical definition of death is that moment the heart stops beating, but for some inexplicable reason, the existance of a beating heart is not proof of life??

According to the article, the Hawaii Penal Code defines a person as someone "who has been born and is alive". I don't know if there is a feticide statute in Hawaii.

Apparently, it is a human being if it is in a position to decide that those who can't protest the decision aren't.

It just has to move about 12 to 18 inches or so, then it magically becomes a human. Nifty trick, 'eh?
