A little thought experiment.
A man in a deep coma has no awarness of his existence to any credible degree. You know, in exactly 9 months time he will awake again, fully functunal. In the mean time, you have to pay for the hospital bed and care. Does that give you the right to kill him?
Is it not the same with the unborn baby, unaware of its existence, dut will awaken?

The man has a nervous system with the capability (capacity-ability) for human functions, the fetus does not.
I can't express enough that saying a being can be human or even alive in any significant sense without a nervous system is the same as claiming you can turn on my camera when I don't have a camera.
