I've seen no definitive proof that there is a genetic link between any particular chromosomal expression and propensity to rape.
Do you need 'definitive proof'? Considering everything else we know about genetics, it's highly plausible. Aggression certainly is highly heritable, as are any number of characteristics that are likely correlated with rape.
That's a funny way to spell a completely unique lifeform with its own heartbeat, fingerprints, and all the bits and bobs the rest of us have, just under-developed.
At what point does it have its own 'heartbeat'? Certainly not at fertilization. And does a heartbeat mean that it's as much a person as you are? Don't think so.
Any woman who's had multiple children will tell you they all have their own personalities as infants, and even in utero. They're awake at different hours, they're more or less active, they respond to different stimuli (music, voices, etc.).
Again, I wonder at what point this would be. Quickening, I assume. Can you speak of a personality before that?
You know, I've lost a fair bit of respect for you during this argument.
That's fine. This is not exactly the easiest subject for people.
