A fetus isn't a person.

Of course it is. A link to the false assumption I think you're making.

A potential person is not an actual person. By the very admission that the fetus is going to be a person, the doctor is conceding that it is not a person right now. If he is saying it is a person right now, then what it's going to be is irrelevant. Then, however, the doctor will somehow have to explain how a group of cells is considered to be a person. Which is why I asked: what criteria determines personhood? That is the essential question in the debate. The only rational answer that I have seen is that higher brain activity is the defining criteria. All else is secondary. Without brain activity, there is no "person". Brain activity requires a brain, hence, a fertilized egg isn't even close.
