"a hunk of snot isn't"

A hunk of snot contains millions of organisms. In fact, most of the cells in your body are NOT human cells. Live with it! Human DNA is a small percentage of the genetic composition of your body.

And again, you using either "DNA" or "living organism" as synonyms for personhood is just bloody retarded! There are philosophical considerations as to when society will confer personhood on human DNA. A woman's egg is never a person--whether fertilised or not--no more than a goose egg is a goose.

Indeed, most eggs are spontaneously aborted as an act of Nature. So maybe you just need to pray harder?
