So, which identical twin is human and which isn't? Only one gets "its own set of human DNA" and the other only gets a copy. If a human is ever cloned, will that clone be a human?
If not, why not?
Twins still have DNA that is separate from their mothers'. The argument that a fetus is basically a tumor or a cyst or that it is a body part of a woman are incorrect because if it were those things, it would have the woman's DNA. But they don't, they have their own, separate set of DNA, meaning they are not body parts of their mother, but rather, separate entities.
Identical twins have the same DNA as each other because they are identical twins. But they are not a tumor or a body part of the mom.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
