So there is no sentience? Does sentience even exist? Bacterium have a functioning brain. Just because it is not similar to ours does not mean it is not a brain. Does the bacterium feel its prey? Does it choose to engulf its prey? Or is that simple conditioning? Now answer me this question. Lets assume for a moment that sentience actually exists. How does the existance, or lack there of, of sentience prevent something from being human?

1) learn to spell.
2) learn the appropriate usage of bacteria versus bacterium.
3) you are stupid to ascribe "feeling" and "choice" to bacteria.
4) choice is an illusion, but that is an aside.
5) science by itself cannot define the boundaries of what is "human". you can appeal to it to set boundaries, but the boundaries are ultimately not scientific.
6) rejecting abortion based on our status as homo sapiens is arbitrary.
7) rejecting abortion based on our status as "human" is unfounded, because an embryo or a fetus is not "human".
