I am a zoologist and I try to be logical. We have bred willion and zillions of chickens and we get more chickens. YUM, YUM! When two persons have sexual intercourse we get a third person/human being/child according to all the science and even court decisions. When a female person sues for child support, the court decides by the DNA who the second person was that sired the child. That same DNA is in the cell from conception until death, defining the person/human being,/child legally and scientificly. That is known as two unbiased witnesses and is good enough for even Jehovah.
