The baby is irrefutably "human" at this point of 8 weeks and the core issue is the "value of human life".
Your statement "think on its own" is an emotional statement - you don't know what the brain is doing at that point.
==============================
from : -- Baby Brain Development
Week 7 The neurons in this week are multiplying at a rapid rate, thus, the brain is growing at a rapid rate. Its formation is nearing completion.
Week 8 By the eighth week, the head is quite large when compared to the rest of the body. The baby brain development activities reach a new high when there is further development of the hind brain, which is the center responsible for regulating vital activities, like the heartbeat, breathing rate, etc.

Again, your post is misleading. The brain and nervous system is not fully formed until the 33rd week. During the 8th week, the development is only beginning. Multiplying neurons does not equate thought. It equates to growth. A fetus cannot qualify as human at that point. It cannot move, think, or even breathe outside the womb.
