Your arrogance in asserting what does, or does not, constitute human life and personhood is disconcerting, if not downright mendacious. The facts are 1.) you do not know for sure, and 2.) you are unwilling to give the benefit of the doubt. You might be better served iterating your point of view amidst that other choir so enamoured of death and taxes.

Regarding point #1: I have reasons for believing what I do and have indicated what they are. I do indeed know for sure that is what I believe and the reasons for having made those decisions. Human life is simply any human cell, or collection thereof. With regarding to being absolute with regard to personhood, all one can do is to formulate a construction that is consistent and does not contradict any other objective principle, or construction. It must also be independent of any particular being, otherwise it will necessarily be subjective and non-absolute. Once that is done, it will be as close to unique and objective that it can be and whatever the measure of that is, will be the measure of how absolute it is.
With regard to point #2. I have no doubt. What is it you suppose that I doubt and who should I give what I don't doubt and my power and right of decision to?
