quote:I would disagree with vesting that right (in a human organism) at such a late date for a variety of reasons that I believe to be sound. "Good" and "evil" play no role in my analysis.
So if it is decided that such a right shouldn’t vest for 1 month after birth, you aren’t going to think of that as evil?
Primarily, I think that the vesting of ANY legal right should be contingent upon the beneficiary being a sapient organism. Legal rights should not vest in trees, garden slugs, field mice or human embryos, because none of those organisms are sapient. (No, I am NOT saying that a human embryo is "the same as" a tree. But they do share the characteristic of being non-sapient.)
Is a one-month newborn "sapient?" Probably not, but some developmental experts would argue otherwise.

So some humans should never have rights and some humans can suffer an injury in which they lose all rights?
This is just wrong on so many levels to me. Those without cognitive abilities should and thankfully do have rights.
