Its a zygote. I thought we'd already established that.

No, it's not. Individual human life is not reducible to DNA. An egg is not a chicken and a zygote is not an individual human life form.

Already done that. Its a embryo - not a human.

That doesn't make it a human by default.

Aware of it? That's the whole fucking point.

Thus supporting the whole parasite-host argument.

Yes, because I know exactly that it isn't a human lifeform.

Yes, because sex-selection is done upon the incorrect premises of what it'll be - not what it is.

Still don't see a problem.
