Fair enough. As you say, “There’s only my opinion and your opinion.”

My opinion is that the post-partum fetus (aka “clump of cells”) becomes a person when it starts to talk. Any creature that can’t talk is obviously not a person and can be euthenized, much as we “put away” kittens, puppies, and lame horses.

I’ll support your right to kill non-people (by your definition) if you’ll support my right to kill non-people (by my definition).
