That's sort of my simple logic. But it is hard for me to differentiate the lump of cells that is the fertilized egg from the lump of sperm cells and the egg cell they came from.

As the father of two preemies I can say I agree that once the child had the ability to be kept alive outside the womb, and they are outside the womb, they are human.

Not to say they are not a living thing in the womb at some point.
