"Are you really an idiot, or are you just pretending to be one?"

I do hope you impress your family and church as much as you impress me with your profound debating skills!!

AS I correctly stated: "a PERSON is not determined by having a certain DNA structure. Otherwise, the hair in my nose or the flake of skin off my scalp would be PEOPLE.

Homo Sapien DNA is NECESSARY but it is not SUFFICIENT.

Now you don't like the fact that something is not a legal PERSON simply by virtue of having slightly different genes than a fruit fly or a monkey--but it is a FACT. And if you are right that we ought to change our minds and consider a fertilized egg as a sacred PERSON, then it follows that every single fertilized clone I create in my lab from my nose hairs and donor eggs) ought to enjoy the protection of the Church and the State and be nurtured for 9 months till it can breathe air and survive without affecting the health, rights, and freedoms of the mother. Now, of course the idea is absurd and ridiculous but it follows from your premise, so either get the point or go stand in the corner with the other bags of ax handles where you fit more appropriately in this picture.
