At that point, there is no distinct brain, no obvious brain activity, so we have no way to know for sure whether or not it is self-aware and conscious. When you grow, the brain activity becomes more obvious.

Again. A flat worm. It conforms to the scientific definition of life, in a way that a zygote and fetus do not, but does not have any form of consciousness that conforms to our meaning of the word, and yet I don't hear you saying that we should protect them legally.
