First, there is growing recognition that fertilization is a process that takes about a day to complete rather than being a sharply defined moment. Thus the beginning of a particular human life is not as clearly demarcated as previously thought. Additionally, there seems to be a growing consensus around the fact that individuality—the inability of an organism to be divided into whole other organisms—comes after the process of restriction—which commits each cell to becoming a particular body part—occurs. There is about a two-week time period in which the pre-implantation embryo, while manifesting a unique genetic code, is not an individual for it can be divided either naturally into twins or triplets or artificially into individual cells each of which can become a whole other being. Third, there is a degree of consensus that while not necessarily a person in the full sense, the pre-implantation embryo is entitled to some measure of respect because it is living, shares the human genome, and has a strong potential (though not a present reality) for personhood.11
