As long as our species is the only one having this conversation and taking action to "electively" kill others within our species, as long as we are the only ones *responsible* under the law and regulating medications, we are the only ones who must be regulated.

If we need only concern ourselves with the rights of the parties who are engaging in the conversation, then we certainly don't need to concern ourselves with the rights of human zygotes, embryos, fetuses, newborns, or even toddlers and pre-schoolers. They are not participating in the conversation any more than chimps are.

I do not accept your arbitrary and wholy baseless assertion of defining when the individual human ORGANISM is 'human enough' to not be slaughtered by a serial killer.
