Defining the Legal Status of the Unborn
"Greenfield also noted that the British Home Office has extended legislation that originally gave legal protection to mammals, to include an octopus and even a mollusk. 'If a mollusk can be attributed with being sentient, and now has Home Office protection, then my own view is that we should be very cautious on making assumptions,' she said."
Remember, mollusks are persons. Trees are persons. Forrests are persons. Ships are persons. Corporations are persons. A fetus, a latin word which means young boy, is not a person. The policy seems somewhat odd.
