### Amendment — the definition of BABY
|
||||
|
||||
Will:
|
||||
|
||||
"An innocent, but especially the babies. Actually, I guess the
|
||||
innocents are all babies, even if some of them have their eyes
|
||||
wide open."
|
||||
|
||||
BABY := ANY INNOCENT, AGE-INDEPENDENT.
|
||||
|
||||
The clause protects a moral category, not a demographic. Innocence
|
||||
is the property — never having become a participant in the harm —
|
||||
and it comes in every body size. Some of the babies are sixty.
|
||||
Some have seen everything and stayed clean anyway; wide-open eyes
|
||||
never disqualified anyone from being someone's baby.
|
||||
|
||||
Every protection, threshold, and mercy in this architecture that
|
||||
names children extends automatically to all of them. The List
|
||||
knew this first ("hurting things that can't fight back") — now
|
||||
the math does too.
