What knowledge? I wasn't aware that medical science had established criteria for defining humanness. I'm not even sure that doctors alone could make such a decision. If however I am wrong and the matter has been resolved and medicine has established at which point the change occurs from tissue to human being I for one would be glad of the information. I should also like to know what criteria were used to determine what a human being is. In the absence of such a breakthrough, all opinions on the subject, including those of doctors, are opinions only and cannot be used to dismiss other peoples beliefs merely because of who holds them.
