There is also the possibility that both sides are incorrect What's the third option to

Human or Not-human ?

The both sides that can be wrong are:
a). blastosphere deserves protection because it is is equivalent to a human.
b). blastosphere does not deserve protection because it is not a human.

Possible alternatives include:
c). blastosphere deserves protection even though it is not equivalent to a human.
d). blastosphere does not deserve protection even though it is equivalent to human.

I am leaning towards c). right now.

The blastosphere is either fully human or not fully human, unless it is a chimera.

And parents looking for perfect human children probably aren't interested in giving birth to chimera children.
