Well, I'm not certain that the fertilized embryo qualifies as a "being", per se. I think that that is where the religious argument fails. Even a newborn babe doesn't even realize it exists for some time. Yet my sons eventually became aware beings. It was pretty obvious. They just existed, but at some point it was obvious to me that an awareness came. There are psychological studies that report on this.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
