also: your definition is just more presumption of conclusion. a zygote is a human is a fact not in evidence.

it's a single cell.

what it MIGHT one day be is irrelevant. a sperm might one day be a zygote. must we protect it too?

you might one day be a thief. shall we arrest you now?

i might one day be a police officer. is punching me today "assaulting an officer"?
