Imagine a situation where I am temporarily in a deep coma with little brain function, and no higher brain function. If there is a solid possibility that I would completely recover in a matter of months is it ok for you to kill me?

What defines our species as being different then other animals is our cognitive rational thought. Potential does enter into the equation and the potential of the fetus is important but the potential is part of what makes it an actual human, it is not a potential human being, it is an actual human being with a lot of potential but it has so far realized very little of that potential.
