you are suffering from the rose coloured glasses syndrome. your definitions are not fact. if for arguments sake I define life to begin at conception and so do rights that is just as much a fact for me as your point of view that life begins at birth. there is nothing whatsoever to support your definition as being more appropriate then mine. it makes no difference how many time you appeal to "natural law" or other unverifiables to support your definition.
