== Ten arguments ==
I'm not sure that the recent addition of a list of ten arguments is all that encyclopaedic, and some of the reasons themselves are a bit shaky. The first part of No. 5 doesn't even make sense to me. Nos. 1 and 2, as worded, make no distinction between abortion and capital punishment, a self-defence killing, etc. They are poorly worded. For No. 3, I don't think it's fair to say that adoption achieves the ''same'' result, although ''similar'' might be okay. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 23:02, 30 March 2008 (EDT)
