Immaterial.
If you didn't learn from that course that a conception is that's person's earliest moment of being a living being, then the fact that you "just finished taking a biology course" is, of course, immaterial.
Erroneous.
Irrelevant.
You don't get to decide "definitions".
Science has already presented, as the opening post unmistakably presents, that a person, a unique individual human being, begins to live at the moment of conception.
DNA and life science is the valid authority for determining the definition and application of a human being, not you, Samsara15.
Clearly, DNA and life science has declared that, as the opening post presents, a conception of the human species is a new living being, thus, a human being, thus, a person, a very young person, without question.
Irrelevant.
DNA and life scientists did not use "consciousness" in their analysis of whether something is a human being or not.
Consciousness is not a scientific determiner of whether the living entity is a human being, a person.
Unclearly stipulated, but as you probably intend it, simply irrelevant.
There is more in a newly conceived human being than just DNA.
Thus your statement is meaningless.
False, obviously false.
Reason is the foundation of our presentation, as the opening post in this thread clearly presents.
The opening post in this thread isn't an "appeal to emotion" -- it's pure unconjecurable science, typical of high school science textbooks today.
The truth of the matter is that yours and every pro-abortionist's denial of the unconjecturable scientific fact, that a person, a unique individual human being that begins to live at the moment of conception, is emotionally based -- many pro-abortionists simply can't bring themselves emotionally to a place where they can accept that they advocate the murder of pre-natals via abortion.
For pro-abortionists, their position is all about emotional denial.
The emotion associate with the pro-life and anti-abortion contingent is their understandable and appropriate emotional outrage over the millions of pre-natal people who have been in fact murdered via abortion!
Your projection here, Samsara15, is soooo obvious. 
Like your "big-brother", Lagboltz, you too can hide from the truth by misusing scientific jargon, but that won't change the truth, the truth that the opening post in this thread has clearly presented beyond any rational conjecture.
