Shane Krouse writes, "The fetus is merely a wad of cells. A mere wad of cells doesn't equate to a fully functioning, living human being. A wad of cells cannot make its own cognitive decisions… Comparatively, a fetus is little more than a tapeworm. It is quite common for humans to annihilate parasites with medications or toxins, so why not allow for fetuses to suffer the same fate?"Sounds like Mr. Krouse could stand to do a semester of basic Human Biology. As far as making it's own decisions, I wonder if Mr. Krouse will off his grandparents or his parents when they get old and frail, and can no longer make decisions for themselves?

By Mr Krouse's standard, one doesn't need to wait until the parents grow old; their falling asleep would be enough to qualify them as a 'mere wad of cells, unable to make cognitive decisions.'
