The current ideas which are based upon moral, medical and legal support should grant fetuses rights. Fetuses possess several characteristics of a person. When a fetus has brain activity, it begins to think and reason as humans do. Fetuses also begin to resemble humans. Fetal viability is a crucial factor in many legal cases, especially Roe v. Wade .
Legal statutes provide an extensive amount of support in the case for fetal rights.
If fetuses have legal rights, then they cannot be denied equal rights. The famous case of Roe v. Wade grants fetuses only partial rights, for it ruled that the state can intervene only after viability. Although Roe v. Wade does not fully protect the fetus, some courts do. Improved medical technologies are extremely beneficial to the developing fetus. Although many fetal treatments such as Caesarean sections pose a risk to both the fetus and the mother, they are being performed in order to benefit the fetus.
