It is true that at conception the egg cell has a complete set of genes, but it is not yet a human life. If I were to hire an architect to design a million-dollar home, but then someone were to destroy those plans, I could not sue for a million dollars. It is not yet a home, although the plans show just what the final house would look like.

I know there will be a lot of people who will disagree, saying that “a human fertilized egg will not become a pig or a frog. It will become a human.” But they will not be able to avoid using future tense. No single cell is a human. Some people don’t want to admit the facts. It took the church more than 200 years to admit that Earth orbits around the sun.
