> Do you disagree that they're composed of cells, or do you imagine that they're a sort of orbiting collective and not a cluster?
Do you agree blacks and Jews are composed of cells? Maybe we should refer to them as clusters of cells, AMIRITE? Of course not. It would be dehumanizing.
> It is not. Your use of "individual" is objectionable.
Your bigotry is objectionable.
“Human life begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm (spermatozoo developmentn) unites with a female gamete or oocyte (ovum) to form a single cell called a zygote. This highly specialized, totipotent cell marked the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.”Keith L. Moore, The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 7th edition. Philadelphia, PA: Saunders, 2003. pp. 16, 2.
“It is the penetration of the ovum by a sperm and the resulting mingling of nuclear material each brings to the union that constitutes the initiation of the life of a new individual.” Clark Edward and Corliss Patten’s Human Embryology, McGraw – Hill Inc., 30
> Their species is human. But they're not people.
You mean like slaves -- 3/5 of a person, right? "Human" and "person" are synonyms.
> No. Only the human consciousness and sentience matter, nothing else. It's not arbitrary nor can it ever be equivalent.
That's bigotry used to dehumanize others. The unborn deserver equality, and you're against it. We've had this discussion before with Klansmen and Nazis: the debate as to whether biological humans are equal to biological humans. They're on the wrong side of history, and so are you.
Gee, wonder why it's called HUMAN rights?

That's the concept behind unborn equality: giving basic human rights to all humans. Only bigots have a problem with giving equality to other humans. And they're both fully human. This is not a matter of opinion; literally textbook biology. Like I said "You're a human but not a person" is the Bigot's Creed. It has been used in all sorts of scenarios throughout history.
