Then Dummy you have the above link.

SCOTT GILBERT WAS walking through the halls of Swarthmore when he saw the poster, from a campus religious group: “Philosophers and theologians have argued for centuries about when personhood begins,” it read. “But scientists know when it begins. It begins at fertilization.” What troubled Gilbert, who is a developmental biologist, was the assertion that “scientists know.” “I couldn’t say when personhood begins, but I can say with absolute certainty scientists don’t have a consensus,” he says.

Now you said sperm fertilized the egg but Scott Gilbert does not know????

Super Stupid how is it you and Scott Gilbert are confused that the planet has 7.442 billion people that inhabit this planet and how they got here ??????

Basically this.

You "are" your Genetics + Environment. If you change your genetics, or change the environment you grow up in. You become a completely different person.

If you want it more specific, what develops a person is their genetics + their memories. If you remove someone's Memories or replace them, they become a different person. If you change someone's Genetics they become a different person.

You would be someone else. You wouldn't be going down the same quantum paradox time loop of split realities.
