I can't watch that at work b/c I don't have the software but I did read the article.
Now for my personal belief.
All consciousness is valuable and ranked according to sophistication.  Preserving conscious life is extremely important to me.  I try to be a vegetarian b/c I don't care for killing animals for food...though I do fall short once in a while.  
As a matter of course, a fetus would certainly fall within my sphere of caring in the sense that it is nascent consciousness.  That's my personal view.
