Is evolving into something with purpose also a purpose? Then unfertilized eggs have a purpose - to become fertilized - and if you aren't making that happen nonstop it's as bad as killing someone.

The article says every person has a purpose. As I said before, people's opinions might differ on exactly when a person exists during the human developmental process, but as far as I know nobody has ever argued that unfertilized eggs are persons.

(Note that unfertilized eggs do not "evolve into" humans--only fertilized eggs do. So even on its own terms your argument is not valid.)

Unfertilized eggs have the purpose of turning into fertilized eggs, which either are people or have the purpose of turning into people.

I think if fertilized eggs are people, so are unfertilized eggs. There's really not much difference between them.

> Unfertilized eggs have the purpose of turning into fertilized eggs

The article doesn't say or imply this. Unfertilized eggs aren't persons, and the article only says every person has a purpose.

> I think if fertilized eggs are people, so are unfertilized eggs. There's really not much difference between them.

Fertilization doesn't count as "much difference" to you? Hmm.
