So first I do want to say - I went back about 10 pages and didn't see, but we can chalk it up to me being lazy and so I'll take the defensive stance on if a zygote is or isn't a human.
Will the American College of Peditricians work as a source to confirm my position? Let's see a stance on that, quote...
"ABSTRACT: The predominance of human biological research confirms that human life begins at conception—fertilization. At fertilization, the human being emerges as a whole, genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism, a member of the species Homo sapiens, needing only the proper environment in order to grow and develop. The difference between the individual in its adult stage and in its zygotic stage is one of form, not nature. This statement focuses on the scientific evidence of when an individual human life begins."

So - my apologies again, but if you could define how they are not "human" that would be wonderful; and please use some citation other than I said so.
