Personhood is a matter of philosophical consideration and has no basis in scientific fact. A human ebryo is a human life. It isn't beetle. It isn't a monkey. We can't get past the 'life begins at conception' argument like a previous poster asked, because we have one camp claiming that an embryo is not a human life, and another camp claiming it is.
The dividing line between pro-life and pro-choice is that of sentience/personhood. You can't stake a scientific claim in this, because as I said, it is a philosophical question.
Unless anyone here is able to prove to me that an embryo is not human and not alive, your arguments fall on deaf ears. I don't care about personal conjecture. I care about facts.

The sections I bolded contradict each other.
