it's a tough issue to slice, that's for sure. agree to disagree, I guess.
(just like the virus debate: alive or not alive? they meet most of the classical requirements, but not all).
the problem I have with issues involving human behavior in regards to public health is that life isn't white and black. the world we live in has a lot of gray areas, ones that allow for discussions like this, ones that even predicate both my responses and your responses.
