What I fail to understand is how that is important. How can brain power or developed consciousness be the deciding factor of a human's rights to life? That is so subjective, so inconsistent. Examples of why have been brought up countless times; it just isn't a good way to base such an important decision on. As you said yourself, "most" kids will know they are about to be hurt and "most" mentally handicapped will, too. But.. what about the "rest"? It's just inconsistent. :/

People who think otherwise really must study biology better.

Eh, I must have missed where we were talking about an eight week fetus. I fully understand the image I gave was for a 22 week fetus. I only posted it in response to the "Until someone can prove that fetuses can think and feel" comment - which seemed to me to cast doubt on the humanity of a fetus.
