But you have said multiple times that it is DNA that makes an entity "human" I don't think I directly said that. DNA is a distinguishing characteristic, that shows that the entity is human rather than non human. OTOH the statement is true to an extent. DNA is a major part of makes an entity human, but not the only thing. DNA by itself is not a human and will never develop in to a human. A sperm has human dna. An egg has human dna. Not a full set. (You might respond with "a skin cell has a full set", but a skin cell is part of a human, not the whole thing, the DNA in the skin cell is the DNA the human it is part of or came from has.) A post-birth human is a human, birth doesn't change what the organism is, just its location and environment. From the earliest moment that this organism exists it was a human, that first moment is conception. WHEN does human dna have human rights Never. DNA is not a human, or even a more primitive organism, DNA is a complex organic molecule. Individual molecules don't have any rights, definitely not human rights.
