Ok at what point does the fetus acquires the awareness where it would be unethical to kill it?
I'm against abortion on the basis of logic. Im pro choice I'm just anti abortion. 18 week cut off to when you can have an abortion. 18 weeks and you arent a clump of cells floating in the ether.
Well I'd say the point that a foetus acquires awareness is just when it's born, at which point it's not a foetus anymore anyway. It might be able to respond to certain stimuli in the womb, but plants can respond to stimuli too. That doesn't mean they're conscious.
