>>I believe that self awareness happens some time before birth (I have no idea when). I personally believe that self awareness is a good demarcation point for when abortion would be acceptable or not. But since I don't know when it happens, I have a tough time telling someone else what to do with their body or imposing my belief of what the demarcation point should be.<

How about the detection of brain waves in the fetus, Jorj?

We use absence of brain waves, "brain death", as a means of scientific measurement that a person is no longer viable.
