Man... You know that each cell that you have (with a few exceptions) have a full set of DNA. are they all human? is cutting your finger murder then?
Also, people with Down syndrome have MORE than a full set of chromosomes. and there are people with less than a full set (missing one or two). are they not human?

personally, i don't think it is necessary to define human to think about abortion. why? because its so blurred, its ridiculous. a spermatozoid and egg combo can potentially give rise to a human (actually, they might be able to do so each on their own...). a blastocyst has several cells and if cared for, will give rise to a human. so, getting rid of any of those, you are getting rid of a potential human.
Saying this, I am Pro-choice since I believe that the women must be able to choose whether or not they want the child since they will have to care for it. this is important, as an uncared child has more chances of being a boulder for society.
therefore, my bottom line is, humans exist as a society, and to not have this society father people in misery, abortion is necessary. for now.
