That conversation was a long time ago.

Which doesn't make it non-existent or even irrelevant.

You responded to ONE post.

And that post replied to another post.

So your point is you would like me to say "a human" embryo rather than "human" embryo? Fine. Done.

That's using human as an adjective again. Ny point applies to human as a noun. "A" shows its a noun, but other contexts could do the same thing without "a". Also my point isn't about what you say. I wouldn't expect you to change your terminology to reflect my viewpoint, just as I would be unlikely to change my terminology to reflect your viewpoint. If a word or term was problematic for you, I might use another one, but it would be another one that made the same point. I care about the point more than the specific words used.

I would even guess that you agree with the point in this case (but I'm not sure), its just that you don't consider it fairly insignificant, perhaps even give it no weight or concern at all.
