There are two parts to the brain, the conscious ( the physical part of the brain) and the unconscious (the part we have nearly no knowledge of ).

A human life begins when the fetus gains consciousness......

really important person is sued by unimportant person. the really important person gets phenomenal representation while the unimportant person gets adequate representation in court, meaning that those resources will be allocated unequally. in a capitalistic society, self worth seems to be what matters most, especially in the countries that are service oriented like the states.
