That pretty much ends the discussion as you refuse to acknowledge the merit of any other position and could not rationally justify yours.
You gave crappy reasons and made crappy arguments....and then you act surprised when I am unconvinced.
A zygote meets the definition of an organism. Therefore a human zygote is a human being. Its in your biology text book(well, your biology text was probably a clay tablet) [and yours is a colouring book] under life cycle of a human being. If you don't believe me....look it up.
No, a zygote does not meet the definition. An organism is independent.
A human being has a nervous system.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
