Papa Jack replies:
Merriam Webster on-line says:
Main Entry: 3 lie
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): lied; ly=B7ing /'lI-i[ng]/
intransitive verb
1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
2 : to create a false or misleading impression

Now, O Village Idiot, using THAT definition of lying, please explain
how I lied by telling Walter above: "You are wrong as usual. The =
on-line Webster contadicts you:" The on-line definition DID contradict
what Walter had said. Ergo, I told the truth. So, if I told the
truth you must have lied when you said I lied. =

Papa Jack replies:
So what? It doesn't have to say human BEING. The meaning is exactly
the same whether or not the word "being" is added to the word "human."

How about the Merriam Webster (hardly a nondescript dictionary):

basic structural plan of its kind; specifically : a DEVELOPING =

Or, how about The World Book Encyclopedia, p.206:
EMBRYO, EM bree oh, is an animal or plant in an early stage
of its development. A HUMAN BEING is called an embryo for
about the first two months of development before birth. Then
it becomes known as a fetus, or foetus....
