inside the DNA) divide, clump together, specialize, etc. to form the overall organism.
Research over the last few years seems to indicate that cells somehow sense each other and respond to one another. I've never heard them called
independent sentient organisms, nevertheless them seem to be aware. Whether or not they are self-aware remains to be determined. However, if cells do
turn out to be self-aware (at the independent cell level) then the Roe -vs- Wade arguments will most definitely have to be revisited.

then Roe -vs-Wade will be revisited.
according to popular belief:
cells are not consciously self aware?
then people are saying that
cells are zero in the self aware department, but collectively they are not?
then here is the belief system of humanity:
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + (zero for each cell) = 1?
how does 1 come from any amount of zeros?
0 + 0 + 0 to the infinite degree still equalls zero, doesn't it?
then how can any amount of zero self awarenesses be self aware?
either math is flawed, or the macro-organisms are.
