Why should I, isn't it self-evident?

My questions in the last post were all about what criteria we ACTUALLY employ when judging human beings worthy of protection and respect for life. Address those points first, then we can delve into what defines a human.

One point, just the one: you used the term 'fertilized egg, then relied upon that term to discuss the non-attachment when the zygote reaches the uterine environ; by the time fertilization is accomplished and first cell division is seen, there is no longer an egg; the egg is a haploid gamete at fertilization, then the conceptus is a completed 46 chromosome individual unique life, and by the time this dividing, growing idnividual life reaches the uterine environ, it is many more than a single cell thus it is identified as a zygote. Even the cells tasked to make up the placenta are also incorporated in the develeopment and formation of the gut of the individual.

You can't, can you.

We? Who is this, we? You had better have a mouse in your pocket.

I do not use your criteria. But that returns us once again to the question. What criteria are we using to define what is human and therefore worthy of protection?
