lets do a comparison in this way: The trees have their equivalent to the zygotes which are theirs thousands of seeds. Now, very few ,if any of these hundred of thousands of seeds, may turn to be a tree, but following the argument of the "pro-life" then each one of these seeds would have to be considered a complete tree. The fact is that a zygote under very special favorable conditions MAY have the possibility to to be transformed in a complete human being, but this does not means that while in this stage of a zygote could be confounded as if it were a human being. At this stage (of zygotes ) they are only human undifferentiated cells and as any other (millions) kind of human cells, of course do also have their own DNA.
