"all my sperm are 'genetically distinct'."
<<A completely irrelevant statement.>>
"That's the point... that usage (YOUR usage) is irrelevant and obvious."
If that was the only point that was made you might have a point but in context, your answer is not only irrelevant, but it is dishonest. It purposely turns a blind eye to the rest of the argument.
The Human Fetus is a genetically distinct, (from the mother) new human being, that begins to exist at conception. It is not the mother, and the mother is not it, as you claimed. In Vitro Fertilization proves that.
