Ahhhh, but there's the rub! Anti-abortionists contend we must know that point right down to the millisecond. Excuse me... what are you talking about? What part confused you? For both religious and scientific purposes, I would contend that there are two key points.......either the beginning of brain activity near the end of the first trimester, or the moment the fetus leaves the womb and takes its first breath of air. I would say that the brain activity start would be a second key point, but the leaving the womb is really irrelevevant. If its a human outside the womb the same thing is a human in the womb. I was six weeks early, there are babies that are more developed then I was that are still in the womb. As for the brain activity that is a better criteria but even before that you have a living member of our species. Leaving the womb is when you first breath with your lungs.....major distinction between the fetus and the child. ted
