Again a good idea, the problem is that resolution in not always
possible. In the example you gave (abortion), I don't believe the

Thanks Brian for some good thinking, though I don't agree with your final
point. You really think its OK to kill an 8 month old fetus? I might agree
around 3 or 4 months, but not 8. However, I'm not as interested in moral
answers as I am in moral process.
