<<4. Christopher Hodgkin says: None of the above matter to me. They are outweighed by MY belief that the embryo in your uterus should be treated as though it were a human being. Certainly it will become one, and your responsibility, not mine, I might add, if I can force you to keep it in your uterus for several more months. In fact, I am already referring to what is in your uterus as "fully human," so that it might sound to an inattentive listener as though I were saying "a fully-human being.">>

I would edit that last line to read: "fully-human *person*" as any cell that contains human DNA is, technically, fully human. A person on the other hand, requires much more stringent criteria. For a human in the sense you wish to convey, it is the defining criterion.
