Can you show that a fetus in the womb has "reason, morality,

That's just dumb. If that was the test, you would stop being
a person every time you go to sleep. If you became comatose
for any reason, you would no longer be a person.
Not by any rational usage of the English language.
There's your problem, you don't know what "rational" means.
Can you show that a comatose human has reason, morality,
consciousness, or self-consciousness?
I guess you've never dreamed.
People while asleep do not show the attributes you attribute
to being a person. "Person" = "human being" whether awake
or asleep, alert or comatose, reasoning or insane, moral,
immoral, or amoral.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/self-conscious self-conscious: adjective: nervous or uncomfortable because you
are worried about what people think about you or your actions
Even you can't seriously argue that whether you are a person
turns on how nervous you are about what others think of you.
Also "has" - "possesses" - if you lose " reason, morality,
consciousness, or self-consciousness", how do you get them
back when you wake up?
It's a natural result of a person transitioning from
unconsciousness to consciousness.
Your's is the argument and logic of a rational person. (Fixed it for
you).
"Yours" - second person possessive
"Your's" - no such word. IF it was a contraction it
would mean "your is" which is not proper English. https://writingexplained.org/yours-vs-your-s-difference
"Person" = "human being", whether or not the person has reason,
morality, consciousness, or self-consciousness. Remember that.
Yours is the logic and argument of an idiot.
It was dumbed down for your understanding.
