Like I said earlier...arguing that it isn't is like arguing the world is flat.....I don't take people who put forth such arguments too seriously. Now should human beings which are in their embryonic stage be morally protected? That's a different question entirely.I don't think you have considered what the word "being" means. A zygote is MAYBE a human, but most definitely not a human being. That's why your analogy fails-- what constitutes a human being is largely an arbitrary and subjective determination. What determines flatness, or whether the world is flat, is not.
