Is it okay to kill human embryos for research? Is it right? Is it possible to legalize embryonic abortion? This paper will defend the personhood of the early human embryo by investigating embryonic human personhood based on these questions. This paper will have four sections. The first section will discuss embryo development over time based on scientific facts about the early embryo. Define the embryo in the second section. To what extent is the embryo human? Two sub-sections will analyze the two possible answers: The immediate animators believe the embryo is a human at conception. The immediate-delayed animation camp claims that every stage of embryonic development is human-free. I discuss delayed animation criticisms and issues in the third part. I challenge the developmental view of personhood criteria in the final section. Based on all this evidence, I believe the embryonic human is a human throughout its life. No attempt must be made to harm or destroy this person.
