My answer is that a gamete is not a human being, it is a part of a human being. Since a part is a different thing than a whole a gamete does not possess the same intrinsic rights or dignity that the human being possesses. They are different essences. As I tried to explain earlier, a gamete is an incidental property of the essence of humanness. Ten fingers are an incidental property of humanness. That some particular instances of human beings do not have ten fingers says nothing about their humanness. It is a different category, and it is a mistake to confuse them.
Cordially,
My answer is that a gamete is not a human being, it is a part of a human being. Since a part is a different thing than a whole a gamete does not possess the same intrinsic rights or dignity that the human being possesses. They are different essences. As I tried to explain earlier, a gamete is an incidental property of the essence of humanness. Ten fingers are an incidental property of humanness. A gamete is an indispensable "part" of a human being. But for the gamete, there would be no human being. Ten fingers are not an indispensable "part" of a human being. Your reasoning seems to me rather facile.
