A foetus is less developed than my toe. I don't see anyone calling to give my toe human rights.

> A foetus is less developed than my toe.
I think much confusion comes from miscommunication and unclear meaning of words.
Embryo -> until the ninth week after conception, inner organs are not yet present.
Fetus -> from the ninth week (heart, hands, feet, brain and other inner organs are present) until birth.
While a nine week old fetus is very small and the size of your big toe, it does grow very fast after that point. Anyway, even a nine month old unborn is still called a fetus.
