The Question. How many innocent human lives in conflict are worth losing, To preserve a political ideology, a religious system, A so-called sacred or holy area on our planet, A scientific hypothesis or theory, or an accurate understanding Of human biology? Perhaps to answer this, one must consider Who is asking, where it is asked, And just when, considering all accompanying implications, A questioner dares to raise such often-sensitive queries.
