P.S: still waiting on your definition of a human is...
A human being is a being of the species homo-sapiens.
Person and being are not the same thing.
If you are confused about definitions, consult a dictionary.
Oh really Heywood, a dictionary now? Sure. This is the definition of human being in my dictionary. Since you refuse to give your personal definition.
Quote:Human Being- a man, woman, or child of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other animals by superior mental development, power of articulate speech, and upright stance.
Seems like, according to my dictionary, zygotes and fetuses cannot be distinguished as human beings.
