I guess it depends on what you think the definition of a human is. Is a fully grown adult who is brain dead and must be kept alive on a ventilator human?

I have seen those pictures and do not deny that they are powerful. However, a fetus/unborn baby is not the only thing that can grab an adult's finger: so can a monkey.

As for "fully formed"... the brain is not anywhere near fully developed at 10 weeks. In fact, while all the major organs are in place, they are not yet mature or fully formed.

Look, I agree with you... I'm prolife. But for people who do not believe in "the soul," it can be very difficult to pinpoint what makes us human.
