Human Person?
(Any room for democratic debate?)
Alan: Thomas Aquinas - and most other people, whether their backgrounds are "sacred" or "secular" - have long believed that a fetus does not qualify as a human person until "quickening" occurrs.

The assumption that a fetus is "ensouled" from the instant of conception is a rationally dubious proposition and a very recent "act of faith."

Consider the cell cluster above and notice your reflexive assumption that this biological mass is not a human person.
