That's not true. The argument is that personal identity begins with fertilization of an egg. That's not a logical fallacy-- it's just drawing a different line in the sand than others do.
Anyway I don't think any SHOULD argument "maps to reality," because should implies a value, and no value is intrinsically real. I think "maps to reality" is a way of saying that morals are objective, without having to go through the fail of actually arguing that morals are objective.
