Then what about life makes it worth protecting? A flat worm is basically just a primitive nerve system with muscles (so far as I know). Should a flat worm be protected in the same way as a human being? Is it just human DNA that should be protected? If so then I refer you to my previous post and human skin cells, sperm, eggs, etc.
You have to have a criteria for what does and does not bear legal protection, unless you want to admit that a human soul is what you're really talking about.
