I can't be. I can make reasonable assumptions. If we use communication as a measure of sentience, then we can say that no cow has chosen to communicate with us. Of course, pro-choice people make the 'reasonable assumption' that the child isn't truly alive yet. All of our arguments will be over what each of us feels is a reasonable assumption. :) -rc ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
