An acorn that has undergone three cell divisions is a tree at that stage of the tree's continuum. When you were three cell divisions old were you a kangaroo or an ostrich?

I was not a kangaroo nor an ostrich nor a human, nor were you. An unfertilized egg is part of the continuum too, but few argue it deserves legal or moral protection. So being part of the continuum is not the deciding factor.

LOL. What can one say to this scientific pronouncement? I'm speechless but still curious, just what the hell species did you belong to?
