Zon, nothing personal, but I destroyed your argument with science. You feel that a baby is an appendage. Thats fine, you can live out your entire life believing that as far as I'm concerned.
To recap, the baby has its own unique genetic code, its own blood and it builds its own placental barrier to separate it from Mom. The baby decides when the water breaks and when it will be born, not Mom.
If thats not enough to convince you that a baby and an appendix are indeed two different things, then I can't help you. I'm sorry you feel that way, but comforted to know that not many folk would agree with you.

You made some valid scientific identifications. I have no argument with them. My argument has always been that of a property rights issue. The fetus appendage is the woman's property. Baring medical intervention when the woman dies the fetus always dies with her. It's a cause and effect relationship that cannot be refuted. On the other hand when the fetus dies the woman seldom dies.

I don't feel my way through life; I use reason.

All valid scientific facts that make for the identification of a unique appendage. When a woman commits suicide her fetus appendage has no choice because the woman de3cides when she will die.

I know full well that they are two different appendages with distinct identifiable characteristics. If you fell or think you need straw man arguments to "support" your argument so be it.
