Ustwo,

You said "Lets say 30 weeks is when your brain 'kicks in'. So what."

Exactly. Why should brain development be a factor in determining the legal status of personhood? I infer from your remark that you would not endorse any arbitrary stage in fetal development as the criteria for establishing "personhood" under the law. Is that correct?

If so, what criteria do you suggest?
