Hi Slim I m happy to have areas of the world changed to parts of the world I also agree the the bit about human abortion getting the most attention is a bizarre point to make and would be quite happy to leave it out or simply to say that this article focuses on human abortion The problem is that there has been a long discussion about the word death with most editors feeling that it is an essential part of the definition There have been attempts to remove that word or to add utterly inappropriate qualifiers and there has been some edit warring A few people argue that death is POV as it implies that the fetus is human others have argued that it doesn t imply that at all a dog can die a cell can die bacteria can die In my view the POV is what the thing is that dies a baby a human being a piece of tissue a blob a clump of cells an unwanted growth on a woman s womb but that it dies is simply a fact though an unpleasant one We have discussed this at length on this page and the arguments have been made that removing death and changing it to expulsion or removal fails to distinguish abortion from childbirth even if it s premature childbirth After multiple proposals and votes and much edit warring there does seem to be a general agreement that death should be in the first paragraph The question now is to whether or not it should be in the first sentence which would be my preference I feel we should have death and expulsion or removal but to have the latter without the former is leaving out an essential part of what an abortion is If there s no death then it isn t actually an abortion but a live birth or a failed abortion
