Ok that was probably a fairly emotive term to use. I was referring to treating a fetus like a fetus.

After all, both are human and so the difference in consequences is not really important?

Well this thread began with a link to discussions about 20 week abortions. At two weeks I doubt that a foetus would even be visible so there is obviously a huge difference between a foetus at this stage and the grown adult. However I think using a person's relationships or lack of connections to establish their overall value as a human being is a bit of a misdirection. We don't use that standard to devalue for example the murder of a homeless drifter.
