1. Of course I am disagreeing with that, especially since a main
part of your basis is "wholeness".
2. I've probably read it 5 or 6 times and I can't figure out how
you are reading it. He most certainly starts his
examples/analysis with a dead body, and has the invasive
investigative measures come next (as a result of the death). He
wrote:
"Something like half, possibly two thirds, of fertilized eggs
(people, to the
pro-lifers) spontaneously abort or fail to implant or die early
in the gestation."
There is your "dead body". Are you missing the fact that if
abortions were illegal and fetuses (including fertilized eggs,
zygotes, embryos, etc) were considered persons, then dead fetuses
would be dead persons? If you missed that, you missed Buck's
whole point.

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

1. It's not a matter of my preference. It's a matter of standard
taxonomy
and recognition of fact.

2. You need to re-read Buck's "analysis." It doesn't start with a
"dead
body" being "found." It starts with a bunch of invasive measures
to be
taken _in case there might be a "dead body" to "find"_.
