It is clear that we can term the fetus a biological "person". The question is: when does it become a LEGAL person with LEGAL rights. I have tried to answer this. 1). Rights presume brain function and the ability to choose and pursue individual interests. 2). The concept of rights is contradictory where it may be supposed that a person has no control over the contents of her body or how she treats her body or how she chooses to act in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. 3). The contents of a persons body are private and personal property. The religious right acknowledges this when they insist that the mother has responsibility toward this property.
