Ok point well taken again.
I just don't agree with your morels.
Like some people don't agree with cloning or genetic engineering. It is
a matter of one persons moral principles against another.
And with those moral principles a lot of it has to do with how you are
brought up. Arguing with conflicting principles generally gets people
no where.
Thank you for letting me know how you see it.
