It is not a question of whether it is considered human. I mean, for this thread, that is the question. I agree that a human's life begins at conception.

The question is, do we apply rights to a human without a personality. In our society, we do not. The law allows killing the brain dead for organs, and the law allows abortion.
It's the mother's right to privacy. The laws have all taken into consideration when life begins, and so forth, but because this life is so dependant it has no rights till a certain point, and this is to be determined by the doctor, and the mother. This is the right to privacy by law.

I don't think it's got anything to do with personality, it's the mother's rights.
