The baby inside a woman is a separate unique individual person and is not her property. Her responsibility, yes, but not her property.

Interesting point but I think there is a fine line between responsibility and "ownership". I felt it was a little more than just my responsibility for what my children did when they were in our household. Most people refer to their children as "my" daughter or son - that implies the concept of ownership. However, I agree that all life is the "property" of our Source, God.

There’s no fine line at all. There is a bright clear line.

My child is my responsibility. My dog is my property.

I can shoot my dog.
