It can be worthwhile quibbling about definitions.
Some doctors adopted the "alternative definition", and continued with
abortion.
Their clinics were destroyed subsequently.
We have to be very careful with definitions. :-)
Quoting curtis osterhoudt <flutzpah@yahoo.com>:
I don't understand. Are spores fungi? Are pollen grains actually
plants? Are you quibbling about definitions?

Are we animals before birth or after?
If it is before birth, which month?
Quoting curtis osterhoudt <flutzpah@yahoo.com>:
Many protozoa, including amoebas, are predators, and are decidedly
not animals.
