So a name then constitutes identity. Ok. Legality = morality? Interesting place to draw the line.
Stands to reason that that which is not material would in be immaterial ^^ Thanks for that gem <3

Yes, I know enough about embryology to know there is no clear-cut moment when a fetus becomes a living, sensing human other than arguably the moment of birth. The line of demarcation is immaterial and arbitrary regardless of where you draw it, so don't paint me like some kind of outlier. Your argument depends on the same immateriality.
The important thing is guaranteeing that euthanasia of living humans does not become a thing. That's why you draw the line at murder of a human with an identity. Any mass of cells without a human identity or subjective experience of reality cannot be murdered, as it is not human. It's very simple.
