Hi Ron - if the word "person" would attach when a fetus becomes viable,
able to survive outside of the mother's body, can you relate this to
words like "child"? I'm asking because handling this term comes up when
doing statutory construction (interpretation). In shott, when would a
fetus be a "child"? (At same time as it/she/he would be a [viable]
person?).  :) LDMF.
