<<<I would edit that last line to read: "fully-human person" as any cell that contains human DNA is, technically, fully human. A person on the other hand, requires much more stringent criteria. >>> I guess I think of "human being" almost as a word, "humanbeing," meaning "human person," but I see that the "person-ness" of "person" makes the point more clearly. So I will defer to your degree in philosophy, and grant that in each place I coupled "human" and "being," I should have coupled "human" and "person." I did make your point about any cell containing human DNA being "fully human" in my references to kidneys, legs, spermatazoa, etc. Thanks for the clarifying point.
