There was nothing inaccurate in my description: a fertilized egg is a human organism, though it must be implanted to grow. If implanted, it will naturally grow into a child. It is human in a way that a sperm cell is not because it has a full complement of chromosomes. It is human in the way that a piece of clonable cells is not, because it would naturally grow in its proper environment. I do not even find the language particularly emotional. The language is low- key and rather clinical. However, since I don't care if there is an emotional resonance, I will wave that. You, on the other hand, said something in no respect accurate in referring to a smudge of yolk, and, further, the image is, in fact, rhetorical, despite your explicit disclaimer. As you are fond of saying, you lose.
