then you are morally culpable.

I accept that, just as I acknowledge to my Vegan friends that I am in part responsible for cows getting their brains punched in on their way to my dinner table. There is a point where your responsibility ends with your own life and beliefs and you cannot go believe on behalf of someone else, especially someone you don't know and don't care enough about to take over responsibility for their life. (None of the Vegan's offered to save a cow from slaughter by buying it for a pet either). There is no salvation on trying to force others to make sacrifice on your behalf.

To refocus a bit: I will agree with you that complete DNA makes something human. Does it qualify as a human being in the context of natural inalienable rights, is the spring board we are on? So far, I don't believe you have qualified it as such, nor do I see that your claims have been rationally disqualified ... unless mockery counts.
