It's only several years older than the embrio, but it is the same kid right??

Completely wrong. You know perfectly well that nobody is born "readymade". An Embryo does not have things as "awareness" (in a TRUE sense, I'm not talking about automated reactions towards certain stimuli), and that's what makes the real difference to me (and many other people). Before the 4th month, it's not even started to develop distinguishable features. The main misconception many people have about pregnancy is that there is already a fully developed little person inside the womb. This is however not true until up to the 6th month (when abortion is fobidden anyway in most cases), and even THEN the development is only "complete" in a sense that we have a clearly distinguishable small human being. Before that, an embryo develops out of ONE little cell. I dare anyway to explain to me in detail what we see on a picture of an embryo in the 2nd or 3rd month. You'll have a hard time figuring ANYTHING out. And as I said, the "mental" development starts even later.
That's also why your "throw the baby in a dumpster"-deadbeat-"arguement" is not even remotely an arguement at all, but just plain wrong (in terms of logically compelling nature).
On a sidenote: it always puzzles me why some people are so violently fighting for even greater over-population on this planet, when the world community can't even take proper care of the people that are already there...
