The fact of the matter is life began a long time ago and everything since has been one continuous unbroken chain. If you are concerned about life then you should weep everytime you shead some skin cells. They are as much alive as a fertilized egg.
It is not cells we value as human beings. It is living breathing THINKING people that we value. And the are made up of trillions of cells working together combined with experience and time to give rise to a working mind. That is what we strive to protect. If I handed you a lump of flesh with its own unique genetic code you would have a difficult time convincing people it was a person.
