Dear Ron, I do have a vivid imagination, maybe now an incredible one. 
Thanks for the idea.  And I love science fiction as well as fiction. 
Maybe I should write a short story with my idea as the central theme.

However, I'm not sure I agree that my idea and the physician's
suggestion to abort a fetus are equivalent.  In the latter case, the
mother could have been in physical jeopardy (although I hope the
abortion techniques are better these days).  The fetus surely was, no
matter how one views what a fetus is.  The NCRP members are not in
jeopardy (yet) as a result of my idea.  Al Tschaeche xat@inel.gov
