Before conception we have a human sperm and a human egg. Once they hook up we have a human embryo. The difference must be of at least some significance because we have a word for the result--embryo. If things pan out, that embryo will become a person and maybe a citizen. The egg and sperm who stay home are human. The embryo created by venturesome eggs and sperm is human. Being human is not the issue. Being A human is the issue. The earliest rational point to consider that you have a human is conception. The latest currently socially and legally acceptable point is at birth. The seperate sperm and the egg don't enter in to it. It is not rational to consider them to be a human, and the argument that they are never had any strong support at any point in history. Tim
