This is a tricky subject because a person is something that grows and develops over time . There ' s almost never a clear point where an individual is suddenly a person or suddenly not except maybe brain death . The question surrounding abortion is really a question of when the agency of the developing fetus overrides the agency of the mother as a person . By your example , it ' s clear that a 16 yearold is an almost fully matured human with nearcomplete agency , whereas a fetus ' agency is much less clear . A brain dead person no longer has any agency , which is why others are expected to step in for them in terms of care or end of life expectations .
