Hence, insofar as having human causes, the conceptus is human.

The human nature of the human being from conception to old age is not a metaphysical contention, it is plain experimental evidence.

 Code for Human Life Dr. Frederick Zugibe
A fertilized human egg at the moment of Conception, is the opinion of the creator that a human life at that instant, must begin.
It is at this moment that both fertilization and human life begins and the cell divides into 2 cells, then 4 cells, 8 cells, 16 cells and so forth until the complete human body is formed.
When the human code is activated during fertilization, the first cell (actually 2 cells combined) carries out the design for the entire creation and is actually the most specialized cell in the complete developmental process.

When the sac was opened, the tiny human immediately lost his life and took on the appearance of what is accepted as the appearance of an embryo at this stage of life (with blunt extremities etc.)."
