"The human is the whole organism, not the chromosomes alone."

I totally agree. THAT has been my argument, after all--RIGHT??

So what is "human" in a single (fertilized) cell that is distinct from the dna which IS that cell??? When you speak about the "whole organism" I picture a human person with a brain and a spinal cord and nerves and preferences. But then I realize that we are discussing life as an egg composed ONLY of dna and then I think...what in the Hell is he trying to say??? And what is his evidence???
