Human personhood is not based on the ethereal concept of “wantedness.” The fact that a human being exists from his biological beginning is not rooted in the philosophical opinions of such notables (mentioned by Senior) as Friedrich Engels and Christian de Duve.

A recent film about the massacre of 14 young women at L’Ecole Polytechnique in 1989 has reignited debate about a little-known aspect of this tragedy: the passive behavior of the 50 young men in the engineering class.
They meekly obeyed the gunman, Marc Lepine, 25, when he ordered them to leave. Lepine proceeded to fire about 30 shots at the women, from left to right, leaving behind 9 victims, 6 of whom died. Before killing himself, he killed another eight women and wounded ten women & four men in the hallways, cafeteria and other classrooms. He reloaded a number of times but no one tackled him.
