You would know the answer if you had paid attention in school.

Gametes only have half the genetic material from the person who produces them. Humans have 46 chromosomes. A gamete has 23. When the gametes combine, a new human being is created. It's not "tissue", not an organ, not a parasite and not a tumor to be cut out. True, this new human being is "a clump of cells," but so are you.

There is nothing magical about any of this. You could learn this yourself but you are lost in fantasy land.

In fact, I am almost sure these simple scientific facts have been explained to you previously on this thread, but you are not interested in reality, only in indulging your delusions.

689 - you wrote in 637 - "So what is the magical moment of the birth, in this case, that changes the status of the individual, from dehumanized, to humanized, and why? "

what is so 'magical' about two cells combining, or dividing, for that matter. it happens all the time.
