Nope. Those questions hinge on personhood. I wouldn't grant personhood at conception.
A fetus is made of human tissue, anyone can agree to that. But that doesn't mean it's either a person or a being. A tissue culture is human without being a being. So what is a being and how is it distinct from a person?

Good question, and we're not gonna settle it here. My view is that an embryo, unlike a culture, is a being (defined by organization or self-organization) but is not yet a person (defined by developed capacities). I'm just trying to describe the paradox, with no illusions.
