No, because they have the capacity for human thought just as a sleeping person does. This is different than "potential" which has infinitite regress. They don't have human thought. They used to have human though and may have it again but its not certain that they will. Potential reasonably looked at does not have infinite regress in this context. Before conception there is no separate organism that has the potential. There is no human. "The unborn are humans who have not been born yet, the unfertilized ova is not a human." It is a potential human. Are you saying that the fertilized egg should be considered a legal person? Or do you believe that some humans have fundamental rights and some do not? I think it should be considered deserving of legal protection. Definitely a fetus at a later stage of development should (abortions are not performed on fertilized eggs). Tim
