That's because we are defining human differently from one another.
When I say human I mean a human with conscious awareness. With a developed human brain and that brain is alive. So for me a fetus in the beginning of development and a brain dead adult carry the same moral guilt over terminating it's life processes. None.
You mean human for anything that genetically is human even if it didn't have most of it's brain.
Genetically my severed finger can be tested and proven to be human. It doesn't make it a person.
That's the difference for me. A first and second trimester fetus doesn't have the mental capacity and wetware to become self-aware.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
