### 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.
