Abortion should be illegal.

your reference article just rearticulates what a zygote is and when the term embryo is used, it fails to prove what a human being is, which is defined in part as a living person, which, arguably, an embryo or fetus is not.

No morals are universal. For example. In the Christian bible.. ezekial 9:5-7 the people are "justified" in murdering all the women and children because God said to. Certain New Guinea tribes would, on occasion cook and eat a fellow human. It was okay for them. Morals are what we make them.

If you view embryos and feti as "alive", their relationship to their mothers can only be described as parasitic. Human beings are not parasitic, as they do not live in or on another living being. Therefore embryos and feti can't be human beings.

To be living, one must have life. One of the seven characteristics of life accepted by science is the capability to reproduce either sexually or asexually. Clearly neither an embryo nor a fetus is capable of meeting this criterion, nor for that matter are young children.

If you read the above arguments, then that is absolutely what that says. Human beings aren't animal parasites, young children and infants are still parasites, in this case the are obligate animal, parasites, relying on another animal host (adults) for sustenance, and commensalistic travel.
