What species is the human embryo? (There's a hint in the question.)

Is the living embryo alive or dead? (There's a hint in the question.)

Two simple questions. They should be no problem for somebody of your talents.

Homo sapiens.

Is the living embryo alive or dead? (There's a hint in the question.)

It is a collection of living cells. I have stated this repeatedly. That does not change the fact that there are those who do note believe that a collection of cells cannot be defined as "human" if it has no nervous system or even no differentiation in the cells at all.

I am curious: if you believe that a collection of undifferentiated cells is a single human being, then what do you believe happens to that individual human being should the embryo split and the two halves form identical twins?
