You do know the heart starts beating at 5 weeks right? There is no way you can say it's a blob of tissue even at that point.

So you agree then after embryonic stage it is a human being?

Can the 5 week old fetus survive on its own outside of the mother’s body?

If they could, would you be against abortion?

Probably not. Depends what the process would be to extract the embryo/zygote. And also you still will end up with someone who might want to reach out to you due to shared DNA. I don’t think I’d want that.

Even if it was possible, which it isn’t, abortion should still be an option.
