Foetal Tissue Examination and Disposal Laws
Many countries around the world have laws requiring foetal tissue to be submitted to a physician or pathologist for examination following an abortion. Some places also have laws regulating the disposal of said tissue. For example, the foetal disposal laws in California allow the disposal of the tissue down the toilet. However, in North Dakota, the foetal tissue must be disposed of by incineration, burial or cremation. Such laws may be considered irrational and burdensome under certain circumstances, for example, if the woman aborts the tissue at home following medical abortion. bbc

But I'm guessing you weren't really looking for an answer.

Interesting because a ball of cells is exactly what a human is. What is the formula for the relationship between the size of the ball of cells and consciousness?

Good question. Is a single spermatozoa a Human? Is a single ova? If so, I'd be willing to say that we are ALL mass murderers. Where exactly DO you draw the line? Hard question, eh? Do you think that abortion is a product of the 20th century? Do you think that prior to then, ALL fetuses were carried to term? I'm going to go with.....probably not. Hell, you want to have issue with abortion? Start with China. I hear that they whack female newborns in the head with a hammer. Still want to have a debate about first trimester abortions??? Maybe we should invade China so they'll stop these barbaric practices, eh?
