RE: What is required for a human organism to be considered a rights bearer?

I believe in extending rights to a baby that has been born out of generosity. It does not 'deserve' rights the way a moral agent does. It has no responsibilities corresponding to the rights granted it and has no grasp of right and wrong. However, once born, the bodily autonomy claim of the mother ceases and the value of the potential moral agency of the baby is now unencumbered by that consideration.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
