"There are people who are biologically distinct from each other and there are some who are not. Think both twins and clones... While I am sure this seems very important to you, but it too is largely irrelevant ..."

So, it matters not whether a given collection of cells is a genetically distinct human being - it's OK to kill those "cells" either way? Is it ever wrong, in your mind, to kill a genetically distinct human being (or an identical twin or clone, for that matter)? How do you decide where to draw the line?

"The real question is why you think all life on earth should be put at risk for such an abstract question."

How is "all life on Earth ... at risk" over the question of what is or isn't a human being?
