I would suggest that the claim that "the preembryo is not a human being" does not enjoy probability.

For the ancients, notions like infinity, chance, space, or motion fell outside mathematics, while in the seventeenth century new mathematical theories about these notions appeared. I believe that this fundamental change can be ascribed to the influence of theology. F...
