Pray tell...if it is not human, what species to you suggest that it belongs to? To the best of my knowledge we don't get to drift from one species to another...we either are human or we are not...age is not a determinant of species...a zygote at conception plus 1 second is as human as a 100 year old...the proof is in the DNA...
"Human" but not an individual and we tend to forget we are talking about individual human rights -
Well when the embryo / fetus is a "separate individual" it is afforded individual human rights. Until the moment of birth it is the minority part of a duality in which the majority part is the mother.
The mother exercises the rights for the duality and she gets priority over the fetus anyway - by virtue of her cognitive ability, seniority and the simple fact that ultimately - she is the permanent resident of her body whilst the fetus is just "passing through.
