"You really never define Human Person. You seem to want to keep it vague enough to encompass a blastoid but then want to exclude many other viable cell groups."

I don't think that is accurate. I think I have very carefully distinguished between individual Human Persons that come in to existence at the moment of conception and skin cells which consist exclusively of your DNA. You are a genetically unique individual Human Being, and have been from the moment your parents DNA mixed together at your conception. So I draw the line there. Conception is the point in time that you began to exist as uniquely you. No other person has the right to end your existence by killing you. I don't think that is sloganeering. I would like to thank you however, you seem to be the only one on this thread currently that has had the integrity to engage in a rational discussion on this topic without loosing your cool and resorting to shouting down with insulting and irrelevant personal attacks. We disagree quite strongly on this subject it is an emotional topic but it must be talked about rationally.
