gilda,
if you'll read the post i cited, you'll see that wasn't the argument i was countering. the entire point was centered around "drinking a pregancy to death" while you were speaking of a different set of circumstances (it surviving the ordeal).
even so, i am deeply troubled by the rationale you employed in that scenario as well.
