ah, I knew you'd say that.

I was stating that the life of a foetus is more valuable to you than it is to me, as opposed to human life in general. Guess you didn't catch that.

Guess I wouldn't 'catch' that considering you were responding to my post saying that human life was more sacred to me than to you.

Your reply meant you differentiated between a life in utero and a life ex utero.

I do not differentiate - either a human life is a human life or it is not. So what is your interpretation of the life that is in the uterus? Animal, plant, mineral or alien

Bunch of cells/pre-life form.

So does that come under animal, mineral, plant or alien life?

What exactly is 'pre-life'? I was under the impression that if something was growing it was life. Anything not growing or developing is dead.

Perhaps she means pre-viable life.

Thanks. Perhaps she might like to elaborate herself.

Oh and this may have changed recently but was certainly the case a few years ago. Indecent asssault against a woman - max sentance 2 year, same assault against a man max sentance 10 years.

It's either changed recently or is doe to change with the new sexual offences bill...partly because it was so rediculously defined

*googles to check*

found it - came in in May 2004

rape now = penetration of vagina, mouth or anus with a penis. They've also brought in a new offence of "assault by penetration" where something other than a penis is used.
Both have a potential life sentence

Sexual assault now has a maximum sentence of 10 yrs regardless of the gender of the victim.
