At what point do you think a fetus becomes conscious?

Something tells me a friend of his is borrowing his account. Just a guess.

Yes. And he is going to die for it.

For a serious answer, I would have to say you would have to take a good, scientific look at initial brain development.

On the other hand, I can imagine Moonbeam's answer: "Are any of us ever really conscious? What, exactly, is consciousness, anyway?"

This kid at school I hated, got his girlfriend pregnant by accident. So they aborted it. And guess what, they married a year later anyway. What a waste.

So, everytime i see him with his new baby boy, I ask him how the second kid is doing.

Then does he say anything about how you couldn't get laid by a hooker with a fistful of 20's?

Somewhere between ages 18 and 22, whenever they stop living on their parents money and have to make a living on their own. Until then, they're just wasting oxygen.
