Is any baby a few days out of womb capable of abstract thought?
But the point is there is no possibility of these babies ever acquiring the ability to respond in anything more than simply reflexive way. Being able to respond in a more sophisticated way then simple reflex is the basic component from a which a functional human being able to formulate and excerpt a will is made.
Without it, there is no human in the societal sense. There is only something no better than a Christian.
