Now Mike... It was just cut-n-paste. But it is funny that someone with a PhD. does not know ligation from litigation although either one can create a knot. However, If that is what caught your attention, then you must feel the same as the medical establishment (at the time & perhaps still for many) that the preemie (or/and infant) has no physical sensation. I guess that would make preemies less than human and therefore the "right-to-lifer's" are wrong in their quest to deny women the choice of abortion because it is not yet a human being. Yes???
Gee, even newborn "animals" (not the humans, of course) show pain and either try to escape or defend when hurt. Ergo, these animals must be of a higher order of life than even a 6 month old human child. Hmmm. I wonder where that leaves theological teachings? or, maybe males should not be allowed to be "doctors of medicine". Perhaps the male should be left on the field of battle where he can maim and torture to his heart's content.
