MONSTER - An animal which has a conformation contrary to the order of nature.

A monster, although born of a woman in lawful wedlock, cannot inherit. Those who have however the essential parts of the human form and have merely some defect of coformation, are capable of inheriting, if otherwise qualified.

No living human birth, however much it may differ from human shape, can be lawfully destroyed.
