My Dermatologist said that the intestines had more surface area than the external skin. Go figure.

10. That's my understanding as well. Still, a baby isn't an "organ".

I can honestly say that I've never heard of a baby being called an "organ" before. That's pretty weird.

EXCELLENT!

No more of this personhood bullshit! If I can have a kidney removed (hell I can even give it to a friend) then I should have no legal issues at all in getting rid of an unwanted organ like a fetus. Let's face it - people have portions of their lungs and livers removed all the time without so much as a peep from the Sunday School Crowd.

Thanks, Rep. Dumbass of Whatever-Blue-State-You're-From (R) for resolving the issue.!
