Here's part of my problem: Friends of mine had a baby delivered at 22 weeks. He spent the first year of his life in the hospital, at the cost of well of $100,000 per day. I'm happy to say that he's healthy & happy at this time!

Yet, if this same child had been unwanted, he would have been nothing but spare parts.

So, how do we decide when a child is a child and not a fetus? When the expentant mother decides it's a child? Or by another method?
