Ok then, just make it plural. Ya know, twins. Two?
Identical twins are people. Certainly, you'd agree? People are persons. So an identical twin is a person, who was born alongside another person who happens to have the same DNA. How? You explained the biology above.
Identical twins=separate liveS, with same genes. It's elementary.
They are people as soon as they are born, but they are NOT people the day before?
When is a person a person? At conception, is the most sane, reasonable, logical and consistent answer. I believe this an absolute, there are no exceptions.

It absolutely is NOT a sane or reasonable answer. A fertilized egg is not a person any more than an acorn is an Oak tree.

Give it a rest....
You've been on that particular treadmill many times before
suffice to say, that when it has been born then all you 'bleeding
hearts will have the chance can do what you all profess you will
do in supporting said baby, so no chance of it starving.... it wont
even need breast milk, there's always formula.

Because the baby can buy the powder and prepare their own formula!
And what about the elderly who can no longer care for themselves? Do they stop being human? What about people in comas? What about mentally handicapped?
Specifics please.
A baby is extracted by C-section, very premature, a completely unnatural "birth". (Maybe to save the life of the mother gryph?). The baby survives due to modern medicine.
