Vlad, question: when do you think the baby becomes a human, and therefore has the right to life provided by the laws of the land (edit: as in the US Declaration of Independance)?

Is it:
1) At conception. (day 0)
2) At the beginning of the second Trimester. (week 12)
3) At the beginning of the third Trimester. (week 24)
4) At birth. (birthday)

Or some other more or less indefinable (at this time) point during the pregnancy?

I'm going to answer this even though its not directed at me cos I think its sorta important.

I think its somewhere between 26-30 weeks, thats about where certain connections in the brain start to develop and before that there really isn't too much going on in there. However I think abortion should be prevented slightly before that, the law should cut it off somewhere between 20-24 weeks.
