@realcaseyrollins I agree its a poor argument, i mean your brain is just a clump of cells too. That said "its alive and its human" seems like a poor argument to me too, human cancer is alive and human but obviously thats fine to kill.
For me the argument comes down to if it can think, on any level, feel pain, suffer, feel. If it has a brain, even a far undeveloped one, and those neurons are sending signals, then the line has been crossed.
