Applying that standard (and permitting for a moment the consensus that Cogito ergo sum is indeed true!) - a zygote has no brain and thus cannot have brainwaves. A couple of annoying details - Brainwaves are almost meaningless things. They are graphic reminders that a brain uses electricity, but their interpretive value is very limited. Cogito ergo sum is not a proof. It is Rene Descartes' central article of faith. It is an axiom without which he cannot build his philosophy. He NEEDS it to be true, but he didn't PROVE it to be true. Proof is a thorny thing! PROLIFE perhaps appreciates this ... and perhaps not, as E's exercises in relentless logic serve to unmask. But I'll grant [him?] the benefit of the doubt and give him the opportunity to provide a link or reference to such a proof. So far, I have received only a terse affirmative that the proof is out there ... but no reference. No chance to run the reason path myself. Not good.
