Dogs have fertilized ovums. So being a fertilized ovum is just not enough to be considered one of us. You must think with greater precision. The very moment a self-expressing humanly genetic entity appears in space-time with us, that being becomes one of us-- a biological human organism - just like us. It is a human offspring, a human "child", of human parents who themselves are us. It is not a cabbage or a sausage or a fish. It is a genetically human self-expressing offspring, developing toward human ends of its own character, just as we are. It is on the same developmental continuum on which we find every single other one of us. There is no ultimate and objective division between us and it. It is us - and objectively so. When fertility clinics freeze these humanly genetic instances, they are freezing instances of us. And clearly so. They do not take these instances and put them into the woman so that it can continue developing along a friggin' pickle-like trajectory. They understand it will continue developing in a human trajectory. They understand that the thing is a biological human - an offspring, a human child, of humans. It is us. And you know this to be absolutely true in even a mathematical sense. So stop acting like some stupid leftist and admit the truth.
