There is no rational argument with evidence that embryos share enough characteristics with people to warrant giving them a higher status than other living things that share a lot more. Something that has the potential to later become a person is not the same thing as a person, because that principle holds true for literally every other combination of things. An acorn is not a tree, a tree is not a pack of printer paper, and a pack of printer paper is not a book. There are a lot of other things that need to be added to an embryo before it can become a person. If we are to consider an embryo a person, then we have to consider that an acorn is a book.
