        No. This is a purely philosophical question.

        From a biological standpoint, a re-juvenated stem cell and a freshly fertilized stem cell are identical. But how you interpret this is a completely different question.

        Just think about the implications: a clump of your cells are “you”, if you want to kill them, you’re free to do so. However, if someone grows a human from these cells, are you still allowed to do that? Is that suicide or homicide? There’s a line between these two examples and where to draw that is an open question.

          There were several questions asked, but the one I was referring to,

          Like, would this still develop into a functional human being if implanted into a womb?

          Absolutely has a definitive answer that can be figured out.
