Doctors remove baby's second head

The head that was removed from Manar had been capable of smiling and blinking but not independent life, doctors said.

Wow.

The "ethical" question then is: Is the second head a "human being"? Was it capable of independent thought? Did it have its own nervous system?

How could it? It was only a head. It didn't have a spine or anything.

head = its own brain = conscience.
It doesn't have its own heart though, or any vital organs.

Exactly, so how could it survive?

Having a working spinal column is not a prerequisite for being capable of intelligent thought. My question is theoretical: Given that anti-abortion "pro-life" people define a fertilized egg as a "human being", could not this head also be so defined? And, if so, did everyone involved in this operation conspire to commit murder?

I wonder what they do to the second head once they've removed it.

Probably stuck it in a jar and put it at eye level in a closet. Then when the janitor opens the closet...:evil:

That's just WRONG!

:thumbsup:=:laugh:
 
I don't know what to think other than "well, it's a good thing I don't have a problem with abortion, and I don't have a problem with selective thinning of the herd, because I'd have a serious conflict over this one"
