"If we are to apply the notion of a functioning integrated whole to define individual aliveness, the organs necessary for survival must all be included.""

Does this mean that a man, (such as Robert Tools), who was walking around with an artificial heart, was either dead or inhuman while he was breathing, walking, and talking? Or do you define a man-made heart as a human organ?

In XBob's numerology, the months five and six in gestational age must also be in the third trimester because 21 week aged babies are now thriving outside a woman's body, albeit with help from medical science. That same science is not far from being able to conceive and gestate an individual human being without ever being placed inside a human body. I wonder what those alive individuals will be called?

So - put an artifical hart in the embroyo and make it alive.

Please get me some ham and 2 sunny side up chickens and grits for breakfast when we go out for breakfast.
