From approximately 26 weeks since conception until several months after birth at 40 weeks, the only thing the child is doing is growing larger, without actually adding any new capabilities. Research has proved that the child of 30 weeks gestational age learns while in the womb (using the startle reflex of the unborn alive child to show learning, actually).

Only a fool will try to continue the dehumanization of the alive unborn using the fool's argument you present. In fact, from the first cell division (evidence of mitosis) of the newly conceived human life, the newly conceived is directing his or her own development, with the first organ for survival being the placental encapsulation which is deiscarded upon exiting the water world to live in the air world.

Which is exactly what TampaDude said in an earlier post. He said that he would draw the line at 24 weeks.

How is he arguing a fool's argument if you agree with what he has already written?

I see we agree, after all...
