< Please, define a person. Anna> 1. So, a person can only be a living human according to you. A dead human is then not a person? If so, how do you divide his property to his heirs if he is not a person???
2. A person of importance is a person. Whew, this is a pure tautology, "a butter is buttery and made of a butter" kind. 3.The composite of characteristics... Ok. In such case, the blue and green and purple at 50 F in a liquid form is a person. About " self". What is Self? A person? But, an ant and a wolf also have selves, yet you have stated at the top that it has to be a living human only. Do you see, that the terms used here are meaningless, where one term acts as a substitute for another, but in the end, no question has been answered? The only description which makes sense is just this: a person in the world of humans is only a human being, dead or alive. The fact that it is dead, cannot erase his history of being a living person. By the same reasoning, the fact that an alive human being is not born yet, should not negate his presence as a person. To avoid moral dilemnia in libertarian agenda, we should concentrate on the issue of justice, not laws.

But it is in context to the "person". If I were one of two Libertarians stuck on a desert island, I would choose to eat a sea turtle before my mate. Libertarians do harm everyday: they EAT. It's just not to people. Everything is relative, and fetuses just don't rank quite up to a full person. It's close, but no bucket. _____ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ YAHOO!
