Or the murderer is behind bars and can't hurt anyone else either. Same difference.

Because every source I've seen has had different results. Some say the brain stem doesn't fully form until 6 months. Others say brain waves are detected at 8 weeks. Everyone is so (*)(*)(*)(*) biased.

Early on when no brain waves are detected and not even a brain is formed, I think we can be 100% sure.

No, I think that murder/conciousness problem could be easily solved if we tried. Instead we got wackos screaming its a sucking its thumb at conception and others screaming that its part of their body at 8.5 months.

A fetus is not yet a living human being either.

Not as significant as futher harm to the mother however. If that happens, eye for an eye and not just a fine.
