Your question doesn't make sense. The zygote is an idividual. It produces human proteins in an organized manner in such a manner to maintain homeostasis and growth in the form of cell division then *cell* differentiation.
I think you may be mixing up the concepts of "potential" (dependent on environment) and "what it is" (genetics). The Bioethics Council link also discusses this: there is no difference between the cloned human embryo that is implanted in the uterus and the one that is harvested, just as there is no difference between the embryo that is wanted and the one that is not.

I'll get back to the other points, but I just wanted to note that the Bioethics Council has a point of view that they were selected to express.
I have no reason to believe that they would taint the facts of the scientific methodology, but from the ethics standpoint, they will come up with the results that are required of them.
