I care. I don't believe in killing innocent human beings. There's a federal 
law against using a bald or golden eagle's egg to make an omelet. It's 
punishable by law to "...take, possess, sell, purchase, barter, offer to 
sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, at any time or any 
manner, any bald eagle ... [or any golden eagle], alive or dead, or any part 
(including feathers), nest, or egg thereof." But it's a-ok to chop up an 
unborn human child, sell his or her body parts for research or for making 
vaccines. We have a pretty damn sick society, if you ask me.
