This paper suggests that medically the term a 'human being' should be defined by the presence of an active human brain. The brain is the only unique and irreplaceable organ in the human body, as the orchestrator of all organ systems and the seat of personality. Thus, the presence or absence of brain life truly defines the presence or absence of human life in the medical sense. When viewed in this way, human life may be seen as a continuous spectrum between the onset of brain life in utero (eight weeks gestation), until the occurrence of brain death. At any point human tissue or organ systems may be present, but without the presence of a functional human brain, these do not constitute a 'human being', at least in a medical sense.​

But it is OK to let a human being die? Seems like an arbitrary position.

when did I say its OK to let a human die??
if possible every attempt should be made to save and protect an innocent human life
and youre advocating for the intentional murder of an innocent human being,,

so pot meet kettle,,

You didn't seem to have any issues letting a braindead patient die. Or is he no longer human?

if possible every attempt should be made to save and protect an innocent human life
and youre advocating for the intentional murder of an innocent human being,,

a braindead patient is already dead and his heart and lungs are being kept operating using machines,,

and also there is no expectation that the person will regain brain activity,,

have a nice day,,

Yes because on my planet abortion would be acknowledged as ending the human life of a specific person.

Abortion ends a specific unique one of a kind human life that depending on two primary circumstances, ….

(1) natural (miscarriage by genetic flaw, poor nutrition etc) and unnatural (intentional termination by the potential birth mother, or

(2). physical assault against a pregnant woman etc)

is capable of becoming a person.

Abortion ends a specific unique one of a kind human life that depending on many circumstances, natural (miscarriage by genetic flaw, poor nutrition etc) and unnatural (intentional termination by the potential birth mother, or physical assault against a pregnant woman etc) is capable of becoming a person.

it depends on none of those,,

its a person at conception, not capable of becoming one,,
