Dear Ishna Ji
I would have to research further but I am sure there have been some high profile cases in the past in the US...
Basically, the question is at what age does the embryonic human acquire the same basic human rights that you and I enjoy?
For example, broadly speaking, we wouldn't expect someone to sanction our deaths would we on the basis we were not required?
Broadly speaking, we wouldn't want someone to sanction the death of a new born baby either?
Or a baby that is 30 wks old, 20 wks (from conception) etc....?
So what is the cut off point??
