Is the unfertilized egg now a human being because it was fused with a stem cell? These are misleading questions. The unfertilized egg and the stem cell are constituent parts.....that's it. Put those constituent parts together and now you have a human being. The stem cell doesn't gain protected status. The stem cell ceases to exist. A human being begins its existence. The product of this process gains "human being status" because the product of this process is a human being.
No it isn't. Not till it's able to survive on its own. There is a threshold it has to develop to first.
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it
