Peggy Arizona's Personhood USA claims they are doing this for the "glory of Jesus" so it is part of the argument; however, folks I have argued with liked to claim scientific proof for germ cell being a person due to DNA rather than biblical references.

PS - note that in the past when things like organ transplants became successful, opposition evaporated. it just makes the struggle harder.
