A Petri dish could end up having more rights than an unborn baby.

IMO, the fact that a brain develops in a dish is not relevant to whether it can “develop consciousness.” A more relevant question, to me, is whether a brain that is disembodied can “develop consciousness,” regardless of whether it grew up in a dish.
