"Organs , a nervious system , a brain , all these are the things that make us human . Those things are not developed until 7-10 weeks after conception though ( depending on your source ) . Many like to show proof that they start to develope earlier but again , unless something is completed and is operating then it can not be regarded as developed . Based on that information I would have to say that abortion should be legal until 7-10 weeks after conception . Once that time period has passed and the fetus has a functional nervious system and brain then abortion should only be reserved for the rare cases that the mothers life is in danger ."
"I am curious about your position . Why have you chosen the nervous system and brain and organs as the cutoff points for the humanmeter ? Have you done so arbitrarily ? Does this mean that if these are not as you said `` completed and operating ( developed ) `` then we are not human ? If this were true there would be alot of handicapped people who are not human . Christopher Reeve and all the other quadrapalegic and parapalegics like him would be in trouble . What IQ determines a fully developed brain ?"
