IIA. The Human that the embryo is destined to become tomorrow is already today to be legally recognised.

(Transposing the identified data to the case of the embryo)

Consensus omnium (Proved by universal consent)
‍
Every Human must be granted the Right to exist tomorrow. However, the individual to whom this Right is acknowledged is not the person present before me today.

"If this young woman to come is to be legally recognised, every Human to come is to be legally recognised!"

Having established the legal recognition of the human to come, we must now raise the question of the implications of this new understanding: ‍

The Legal acknowledgment of the Human that the embryo is destined to become tomorrow:

I recognise the Right of the one she is destined to become to exist >
I recognise the Right of the one the embryo is destined to become to exist.

1 : Data presentation : the embryo of today...
...is tomorrow a Human.
- Now that we have identified the legal recognition of the human to come, we must question the implications of this new legal data.
‍
- Let’s discuss that further.

- Speaking of the Human who is to come, there is a subject we cannot miss to consider: that of the embryo. The embryo is, in the future, a Human.

- Indeed. The embryo corresponds to a Human to come.
2 : Transposition of the identified Right to the specific case:
- How then does the newly identified rule apply to this case?

- Isn't it obvious! Very simply: To recognise the Right to exist (and to live his/her moment of life to come) for the Human who is destined to be means to recognise the Right to exist (and to live his/her moment of life to come) for the Human that the embryo is destined to be.

If this young woman, who is yet to come, is already today eligible for legal recognition, then it logically follows that another young woman, who is also yet to come, should also be eligible today for such recognition.

- So, when we are standing in front of an embryo, there is already a Right to respect: the Right of the Human that this embryo is destined to become?
‍
- What to say!
‍

- Scheme: Two same Humans, two same Rights.

PRINCIPLE OF EQUALITY AMONG HUMANS. NO DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN HUMANS
‍
One Human cannot be legally recognised and not another. ‍

Reluctant to the idea of having to respect a Right in the case of an embryo, some might try to argue that the Human to come is not, in the case of the embryo, under the protection of a Right. To this end, they will propose the hypothesis that the Human to come deserves protection only if he or she is already someone today.

Here, we aim to respond to this hypothesis, which seeks to make the Right of the Human to come dependent on what he/she is today:‍

Aparté :
The legal recognition of the Human to come cannot depend on what he/she is today:

The legal recognition of someone cannot depend on anything external to his/her human nature.

- I see you thinking.

- Well... the emergence of a Right to be respected in this case would not be without consequences. And, I wonder if it's not possible to present an argument?

- Which one?

- I don't know! Can't we think that this girl who is yet to come should be protected because she is someone today, but that the other one shouldn't be because she's just an embryo today?

- Can we justify treating two Humans differently?

- Absolutely not!

- And, is this young woman any less human than this other one simply because she is currently in the embryonic stage?
‍
- Definitely not! ‍ 

- So, why should one be denied this Right while the other is granted?

- It does not really make sens.

-‍ Humans should be protected solely because of their humanity. The legal recognition of a Human is inherent to her/his human nature. Now, this young woman who is yet to come is a Human regardless of her current state as an embryo. Her current state does not affect her human nature, and as such, it should not determine her legal recognition.

- That's true. You're right. What she is today is irrelevant to her human nature; therefore, what she is today should be irrelevant to her legal recognition.
"The Human is to be protected simply because he is Human.

Regardless of what he/she is today, the Human to come is still a Human!

Therefore, the Human to come is to be protected, regardless of what he/she is today!"

Conclusion /
‍From our Will for others to the legal acknowledgment of the Human that an embryo is destined to become tomorrow:

I Want her to be here tomorrow >
I recognise the Right of the one the embryo is destined to become to exist.

- Initially, I questioned your goodwill towards others. I asked you if you wished for this girl to exist tomorrow and you understood all the hidden meaning in the answer to this seemingly ordinary question?
‍
- Certainly! To mention the presence of someone tomorrow is to acknowledge the future Human, and to acknowledge the future Human is to acknowledge the Human that the embryo will become. Hence, when you inquired whether I wanted this girl to exist tomorrow, you were indirectly addressing the legal recognition of the Human that an embryo will become. By answering "yes" to this question, I was already validating the legal recognition of the human being that the embryo is destined to become.

- So, what is your conclusion based on this brief exchange?

- Oh, that conclusion is quite straightforward! As we inherently desire the presence of others in the future, and since this desire for others cannot be denied, it follows that no one can deny the legal recognition of the Human that an embryo will become!‍
"No one can deny the wish to legally protect the presence of others in the future. Therefore, no one can deny the existence of a Right to be respected in the case of the embryo"

Assessment:

"The One I Want to protect today extends into the future.

Therefore, the embryo must be considered with a perspective that encompasses the future.

So then, I cannot deny that in the future, the embryo corresponds to the One I Want to protect today"‍
