Translated by WordPort from Nota Bene ver. 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 versus 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 versus Wade grants fetuses only partial rights, for it ruled that the state can intervene only after viability. Although Roe versus Wade does not fully protect the fetus, some courts do.
