I find that difficult to believe Photon.

No, I'm saying that the point at which they should be awarded rights should be the point at which they become a person.
A fertilized cell is clearly not human, I have no problem with the morning after pill.
So at some point after that the brain and nervous system develop to the point that he/she becomes person. There's a line to draw.
Now all we need to do is define person. Self aware? Maybe, can something suffer if it's not aware of itself? I don't think it's just philosophical, I think science will eventually be able to answer the question.
