Pretty much what he said.A fertilised egg is a non-person. A baby that has just been born is a person. Anybody who claims there is some easily and objectively determined point in between the two where there is a sudden step-change from "nonperson" to "person" is deluded. Apart from anything else, it rests on the nontrivial task of determining what qualities make any born human being a "person" (regardless of their physical or mental wellbeing) whilst excluding other animals from personhood.
