So, if either through brain damage, or severe mental retardation, if the brain is not functioning to a certain "level", we should not cosider those possesing such limited cognitive abilities "human life"? |
People with mental disabilites and limited cognitive abilities still have far more mental activity than a fetus at 26 weeks, they have the ability to sense, they have consciousness and they have awareness. They also have independence from any other body which is another thing to be taken into consideration. As such as far as I'm concerned they definately qualify as human life. Somebody in a permanent vegatative state or suffering from brain death on the other hand I would consider not to be a person anymore.
Edited my post because I think I got some of my information wrong in the original just in case you are wondering.
