    Serious question (please don’t eviscerate me cus I’m just trying to understand the debate): at what point in it’s development is an embryo considered a human? Who decides?

      By week 8 their brain starts working (allowing the first spontaneous movements, not more). So before that it’s not even up for discussion (no brain activity = not human), after that it starts getting tricky (how much brain activity is needed for it to be considered human?)

      In my country you can abort until the 14th week
