Good answer - helps clarify your position and gives us the basis for a good discussion! To summarize what I believe is your position (so I can discuss it properly and fairly): You think "any cells than will someday be sentient, should not be destroyed/killed?" If thats the case, lets defined "sentient" since _I_ am unclear exactly what it means: 1. Having sense perception; conscious: Is this definition ok? ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
