Pretty sure babies aren't self-aware, while chimpanzees are. Yet the majority opinion is that the former has human rights and the latter doesn't.
Right, we extend "human rights" to potentially self-aware humans (sometimes including fetuses) and no-longer-self-aware humans, and generally anything with human DNA which appears human, but that's where the majority gets thinner. In actuality the Schelling point is more like a fading line than a point.
