WHY CONNER PETERSON WAS 2004'S MAN OF THE YEAR:
Destroyed embryo deemed human (STEVE PATTERSON AND ABDON M. PALLASCH, February 5, 2005, Chicago Sun-Times)
A frozen embryo destroyed in a Chicago fertility clinic was a human being whose parents are entitled to file a wrongful-death lawsuit, a Cook County judge ruled Friday.Attorneys on both sides of the abortion issue said it was the first such ruling they had heard of as the country debates whether stem cells derived from embryos can be used in research and medicine.

Actually, it's Bataan, but who will quibble?
Interesting point about Connor. Even more interesting that this ruling was in (blue) Cook County.
