just had a quick look on google but the first dozen or so results just pointed me back to this video. Do share a link if you have.
Also, what is your definition of a human? A cluster of chromosomes? in that case yes, a fertilised egg would constitute as being human.
But are we talking about a sentient being, able to support itself without the umbilical nurturing, able to fell pain, love, hope or anything at all? I don't think so, yet many people accredit more importance to that....
.... cluster of cells than to a fully developed human being who has spent time on this planet, has family and friends, the ability to make a change. My 22-year-old sister is in a coma right now after a nasty car crash and she has multiple traumas in her brain stem and also in the cognitive regions of the brain. How can it be morally right to put the existence (because we cannot really talk about a "life") of a few cells above that of someone who is fully developed, has laughed and...
....lived and would have many more years left to do so if it wasn't for her injuries. How can someone EVER justify doing that to a living and breathing human being just to save a cluster of non-sentient cells?
Every human was on few-cell- stage of development, and embryonic development is 1/0 case, continuous process -if not interrupted it leads to "sentient being". I do not think that anyone have right to decide of "when human becomes a human". If someone some time ago made a decision that your few-cell stage is not a human and is not worthy to continue existence then I would have no chance to reply to your comments.
This is a fantastic animation.
How do I get in touch with the people who created it?

Just one question: Are Multipoptent Cells the same as Unipotent Cells?
What's the difference between all four: Totipotent, Multipotent, and Pluripotent, and Unipotent Cells??

According to the results of scientific research
Fertilized human egg IS a human.
Check this publication from 2009:
Nature EMBO reports:"Embryonic human persons
Talking Point on morality and human embryo research"Robert P George & Patrick Lee

And there is constant development on using somatic cell lines to produce replacement for damaged tissues without destruction of embryos:
