Hi Dr. L.:
I think what we have here is a legal defination, and a medical
defination. The medical defination of a child is ..an individual who
has not reached the age of puberty. An individual between the toddling
stage and adolescence. I don't know what the legal defination of a
child is.
We also have one law which says that the fetus is a child, and another
that says it isn't. Both in the same state, California.
And both laws can be used in a criminal trial.
