That's a provocative reading of `natural born', but one that might be made
to cut even more cruelly in the case of tomorrow's citizens gestated
entirely in vitro, nor to mention children carried in-synthetic-utero by
men (as in, by a stroke of luck, Arnie's own movie about the pregnant Dad).
If read as `natural[ly] conceived', all those present-day in vitro kids
would have their day spoiled big time, and clones can fergeddaboudit.
