Re: On the rights of unwilling fathers:
the rock climber, LIVED. he did NOT fall off the cliff (i'm pretty sure it was the rock's large mass-weight, gravity, and the downward slope that was the cause of his sliding. so once he got the massive rock off, he stopped sliding...or his friend was able to catch-grab-stop him from sliding. however take note...he was right AT the edge of the ledge...even with this "super human" ability it can only do so much. he could NOT "chuck" the 14,000 lbs rock over the ledge from 5 feet away from the edge....riiiight. he was RIGHT at the ledge and was amazingly just able to lift it, move it over his head, and "push" it jsut enough outward to clear his head and fall down the mountain cliff with OUT taking his head along with it or having it first fall on his head, crushing it-killing him *duh*, and than bounce and go over the ledge. THIS IS/WAS a ~14,000 lbs chunk of rock we are talking about!!! that's like... 7 small cars of weight!!! world record bench press by FAR!!! the force he/his brain/muscles generated jsut to lift, move, push that weight was easily enough force to tear and shred his arms apart every single muscle tendon cartilege completely TORE through his entire arms. possibly the best way to somewhat imagine this, is if u imagine his arms ripping off in half, "amputation/severing"). the friend (probably cell-phoned) a helicopter that got there in time before he bleed to death.
POOR GUY though!!!!! his legs CRUSHED to a powder of bone mixed with a mush/soup of flesh and blood by the rock falling on them, than his arms are OBLITERATED by the force he needed to generate to get the rock off him. no legs no arms... POOR GUY, yet he did still live/survive.....amazing!
TRUE STORY TOO, witnessed and even possibly recorded by his friend, witnesed and recorded-documented by the medical helicopter team rescuing him, and he lived himself, "to tell the story".

i don't wanna make a debate about the terms genocide infanticide, it's rather silly having a terms debate...a "term" is already an arbitrary thing.
i jsut wanna try to explain better what i mean:
types of (victims) of murder:
1. the most common and least heinous of all: 18-25 year old males killing each other.
2. killing the elderly. this is a tough call. on the one hand they ARE OLD and are well "down hill" and due to that their life isn't "too" important (excluding their knowledge-wisdom). a younger person has much more life ahead of them and thus are "more important". however, that also makes them helpless-defenseless-powerless and which makes the crime much more heinous as they are more strongly seen as greater victims.
if this is a cruel view i have, u can smile, since I as will everyone, be in this same "unimportant" old age person who is well "down hill" situation and some young person, should humanity unfornately get some one as cold as me, make this same cruel statement about old and decrepid me. touche!, eh?
this SHOULDN'T bother anyone, OLD AGE IS A FACT OF LIFE FOR ALL PEOPLE. (unless u die or are killed before u reach old age)
3. killing a female (any age). SEXISM. death of females probably will always be considered more heinous than killing males.
4. killing the (male or female) young (including babies and, for me, all the way to conception): the 2nd most heinous murder.
5. killing a young female. combine #4 and #3 gives u thee most heinous murder of all.
as for genocide, to me, genocide simply means mass (multiple) murders (usually on "some unknown level" of "LARGE scale"). if a "criminal" like the unibomber kills 100-150 people is that "genocide" ? how about a "terrorist" killing ~15 ? people on the U.S.S. Cole ? is a gang member ("criminal") killing 5 people in a shootout or "drive-by" "genocide" ? see...how no one knows...exactly where "non-genocide" and "genocide" starts
i know that genocide, technically was made to mean "genes" ("race") + cide (~killing), but for myself, as i said, genocide simple means mass/multiple murders.
