Forget the love affair with machines. (which I find ridiculous and dangerous for all my trauma patients)
This guy says "I do not consider any being to be alive until it can exist on its own. What I mean is that a fetus is not a living being until its umbilical cord has been cut.... "
Which was news to me.
I had no idea the screaming, squirming thing that was making angry faces at me while I tried to help wipe it clean was, in fact, not alive....all because it's dad was fidgiting with a pair of scissors, never having been told how thick and slimy the umbilical cord would be.
It's scary when dead things are so vocal!
