By that definition, every cell in his body capable of being cloned is a potential human every bit as capable of becoming an adult human with proper care as a fertilized egg. Therefore each should be protected by the full weight of moral righteousness enforced by law.
I wish to preempt an expected objection that only a cell with a unique genome can be considered a human being worthy of protection by limiting the murders in which he indulges daily to only those cloneable cells of his which have undergone some trascription errors or mutations which serve to make them unique.
You haven't given a reason in your preempt.
The zygote is a human being according to science.
Both sperm and egg are not human beings, and neither are isolated human cells. Arthur is defending the rights of human beings.
