Medically speaking, there is no question of its humanity--the notion of personhood is besides the point. Whatever criteria of personhood you believe an early-stage human lacks, there are individuals lacking those same traits well after birth.

Lacking brain activity?  I support the ability to take brain dead people off of life support as well. 

Agreed; if the patient has no documented wishes to be on life support, the decision should fall upon the family--NOT the State.
