Will I suddenly be 9 months older?

According to Hansard, MP Stephen Woodworth wants to know:
(i) what medical evidence exists to demonstrate that a child is or is not a human being before the moment of complete birth,
(ii) is the preponderance of medical evidence consistent with the declaration in Subsection 223(1) that a child is only a human being at the moment of complete birth,
(iii) what are the legal impact and consequences of Subsection 223(1) on the fundamental human rights of a child before the moment of complete birth,
(iv) what are the options available to Parliament in the exercise of its legislative authority in accordance with the Constitution and decisions of the Supreme Court to affirm, amend, or replace Subsection 223(1).

Blogger Stephen Graham wants to know:

(i) what medical evidence exists to demonstrate that a human being is or is not an adult before the moment of turning eighteen,
(ii) is the preponderance of medical evidence consistent with the declaration in Subsections 2(1) of the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other Canadian law that a human being becomes an adult at the moment of turning eighteen,
(iii) what are the legal impact and consequences of those sections of law on the fundamental human rights of a human being before the moment of turning eighteen,
(iv) what are the options available to Parliament in the exercise of its legislative authority in accordance with the Constitution and decisions of the Supreme Court to affirm, amend, or replace definitions in Canadian law that restrict the rights of Canadians under eighteen.



Also, if a child is a human being at, say, the moment of conception, how will that affect the measurement of age under the law? Is this part of deferring OAS?

I know it's crazy to try and treat all law equally, but gooses and ganders.

I'm just saying.
