Self-awareness

Last post I noted how size does not equal value, and does not give us a right to terminate a pregnancy based on how we are larger than the fetus. Another difference that comes to mind regarding fetus' and us is level of self-awareness. This, too, however, is not a good reason to terminate. A 14 year old is more self aware than a 4 year old, but not more valuable. A 40 year old is not more valuable than that same 14 year old, even though he may be more self aware. In the same way a 4 week old from conception is still valuable even if not very self aware. This is true because Self-awareness does not make one human.
Next time we'll look at another commonly thought of difference between us and those in the womb.
