Thats really the only question that matters. It cant be both.
I think that's what he's having trouble deciding. And I can completely understand. I'm at odds with it myself. When its simply a fertilized egg, its probably just an object. When it's a zygote, its still probably still an object. When it's developed to the point of having functioning organs, its probably a person. So at what point can one decide it passes the threshold between object and human?
