13. When it's neural system is developed enough

To support consciousness. Until then, it is a proto-human, but once it attains consciousness, it becomes a human being, and aborting it would be murder.

Look at how we think of brain dead people. If the brain/consciousness is gone, the person is gone, and most people support letting the body die as it is an empty husk.
