Oh I get it. It has to be a whole cell. Let’s protect blood cells then. They are human, they are 2n.

If you think that a blood cell will eventually develop into a fully articulated adult human then you certainly need that remedial class.

The potential of a thing contributes to the meaning of that thing.

Yeah! Now you are on the right track! What better way to save all those cells at once than to save the entire person who made them?

And how pray tell did you begin????

You appear to have trouble with 'hierarchy' of life. It goes something like this: cells make organs, organs make the organism; the human embryo is an organism called a human organism and it is exactly complete at each stage in that human organism's life cycle for that stage in the lifetime; in human organisms, the organism begins at conception and continues to develop for deacdes unless executed or death by 'natural cause'. A cell, beit blood cell or skin cell or heart muscle cell or even gamete, is a subunit of an organ that is in turn a subunit of the organism.

That was too easy. Got any more hangups?

I hate to nit-pick, but if you're going to make an analogy try using a cell that actually has 2n amount of DNA . . . red blood cells have no nucleus
