Read p.p. 340-347 & make sure you do DB thread 3 by Wed.

I gave what Naomi said a bit more thought. She is exactly right, you can apply the acronym S.L.E.D. to animals. That just means that a pregnant dog, for instance, has actual dogs in her and not just lifeless goo. Just like how the human mother has actual human in her, not just lifeless goo. However, even though the dog has an actual dog or dogs in her, they are still just dogs. And most people (rightly) do not consider animals, like dogs, to hold the same value as humans. Although, some people do hold that animals have the same value as humans and thus those people should be just as concerned for the puppies in a female dogs womb as they are for a fetus in a female human mothers womb.

You all are some great thinkers!
