Yep. Unfortunately, what you're saying makes no more sense than it did
when I was still groggy.
If an organism isn't "whole" because it is in a process of assembling
itself, then there is no such thing as a whole organism. You may or
may not have noticed, but your own body is _continually_ assembling
itself -- growing hair, growing nails, manufacturing skin, etc.
There may be a qualitative threshold below which a human being is not
a "person," but the difference with respect to being a "human being"
between you and the zygote that you used to be is quantitative, not
qualitative. You ARE that organism, just older and having done more.
If it wasn't a "human being," neither are you.
