No, that's faulty logic. The baby's human rights are inherent, like his internal organs, and don't require his cognition to exist. Religion, like politics or philosophy, requires cognition. Is a baby Libertarian or Marxist, Logical Positivist or Utilitarian?

Other than the nonsense about "the official stance of the medical community" this is a great document. But is it really a consent form? Where are the signature blocks? The bracketed numbers are also odd. If they're footnote references, where are the footnotes?
