I don't really have a dog in the Roe v. Wade fight. I wish that abortion was not something being debated in the courts at all. That said, oh my dear god: news.yahoo.com/sotomayor-compares-fetus-brain-dead-224016743.htmlSo, fetuses are brain dead lumps of flesh that receive consciousness at the moment they are born? Who has the religious view, again?

Contrawise, there's about 40% of living people who, if you touch their feet, will have an orgasm.

Someone needs to come up with a coherent, defensible definition of "consciousness" if they're going to be using that as a point of debate in this legal circus (and also distinguish it from "self-awareness" and "sapience").
