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

What is required for a human organism to be considered a rights bearer?
This is 1 of 2 threads that I have created to help offload another thread that I have created.
Many of the people that I have spoken with accept the human rights of the fetus, but feel that the bodliy autonomy argument trumps this and therefore is a moral justification for abortion. I have started to address that on another thread.

However, there is a significant percentage of people who feel that a fetus or human organism in the embryonic stage is not a right bearer. This is a seperate but very interesting question that I would like to discuss seperately from the above the question because they are truely unrelated.

First is use the term human organism because that seems the most accurate:

An embryo is an early stage of development of a multicellular diploid eukaryotic organism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo

Embryo is a STAGE of the human organism, not a SEPARATE entity.

Therefor if an embryo or a fetus does not in your opinioin bear human rights then what is necessary to bear these rights and why?
If it does then this thread is not for you.

Thanks
