Blueprints are produced by the cells in our brains as an intermediary stage in the development of a further product of our brains, bridges. Our brains serve the function of thinking, which produces, inevitably (or we die like zygotes), hammocks, tools, bridges. Blueprints are products of a complex cellular structure. So is a bridge. Blueprints don't cause bridges unless many conditions are met. Ova don't cause babies unless many conditions are met. I think you're on the eternally interesting subject of Consciousness now. Interesting, and, with brain research, getting more interesting all the time. Because a cellular process like making cheese or a baby, once certain conditions have been met, proceeds unsupervised (relatively), that isn't a reason for not interrupting that process. Except of course if you stipulate a "sacred soul" in a fertilized egg and enforce your stipulation with the long arm of the state.
