"a fetus seems to be closest in kind to a victim of brain damage" How so? A healthy fetus has suffered no brain damage. If you are talking about aborting brain-damaged fetuses out of some sense of "mercy", then that is a much narrower issue and raises much different questions. But if you are suggesting that all fetuses "not separated from ... [the] womb" are effectively "victims of brain damage" that can be "unplugged" with impunity simply because they "might not recover", then it seems you lack both scientific and moral reason. They are not victims of anything until they are aborted and they are "recovering" from nothing - they are living, growing, and developing their physical and cognitive abilities in the normal fashion of nature's design.
