Question:
Why is a single human cell not considered a person but a single-celled zygote is?
Answer:
A zygote, unlike other cells, is the result of a sperm and an egg uniting into a single cell, so it has the combined DNA of a man and a woman. From this one cell a full human body will develop. But it is in the uniting of the sperm and the egg that God creates a human soul and we have a person.
