I wouldn't have put it such explicitely but even an ultrasonic investigation can
yield "unwanted" results. I was more concerned about recent discussions here in
Germany about preimplantation genetic diagnosis. And yes I'm of the devil
myself, having my mouse at the left side of the keyboard...

Sorry, I cannot follow all discussions here. But yes, the bible is a very old
tale and a lot of it cannot be true. But are we not reading fantasy novels? I
really prefer Raymond E. Feist.

But I think, we are getting really OT now and should use an new thread in the OT
section to discuss this issues.
