LOL. If the embryo is not a living human being then what is it Dimensio, a dead aardvark. Your reply is almost as pitiful as the pro abortionists nonsense equating dandruff to an embryo. Laughable on it's face to anybody that understands even rudimentary biology and systems.
Now tell me again what the living embryo is. What species? Alive or dead?

An embryo is a collection of identical living cells that have not yet formed a fetus, though there are stages prior to the embryonic stage.

I have made no such comparison. Your reply is a non-sequitur.

The biologcial elements are not disputed. What is disputed is the point at which the cell or collection of cells is to be called "human". As I have said, this is a purely philosophical matter. You cannot use science to show that a collection of cells without a functioning nervous system is or is not a "human being"

The questions here (basically, what restrictions to place on abortion) are legal, not scientific ones, to be decided by legislatures and courts.
