"There would still need to be a law that determines when a human being obtains legal rights."

I don't believe Human beings "obtain" rights at some point on a continuum of development, (Neither did the framers). It is simply the fact that from a strictly scientific, material, standpoint, Human beings come into existence at conception. I have deliberately left the question of "en-Soulment" off the table in an attempt to meet the materialist/Atheist on common ground but I am beginning to see that the Atheist has no solid ground upon which to base inalienable Human rights in the first place. They have simply mimicked the Theistic principals that under gird the founding of the United States but the guts have been removed and the foundations destroyed so all that remains is a hollow shell of selfish interest, so feeble and teetering, that the next breeze that comes along will cause it to collapse in on itself. Once God is removed as the base and grounding of Human rights there is simply no compelling reason to consider "all men" as being equal. Pseudo solon is a prime example of what would happen if those who consider themselves "better" than others were to gain power. It is no accident that Despots and Tyrants have always eliminated those whom they considered inferior or who challenged their self proclaimed "right to rule". After all they know what is best for we lesser Humans. He really thinks he is a Fox who has the best interests of the Chickens at heart. YA RIGHT!
