>A.	What does "human/person" mean? (a COMPLETE (enuf for you) definition)
>B.	Why is a fetus/embryo a "person"?  (as many points as you can think of)
>C.	Why is a fetus/embryo NOT a "person"?  (as many points here, too)

A. A creature of the species homo-sapiens, from birth till death.
B. A fetus/embryo is a "person" cos in late pregnancy, it looks like
a human, has all features developed, and has a good chance of living outside
the womb.
C. It is Not a "person" cos it could be just an egg with several
cells (very early pregnancy), have yet to develop even vital organs, adn
is incapable of living outside the womb.
