You’re confusing yourself with a commercial product. You’re not a product that was created by other human beings based on someone else’s IP.

It turns out that's false. We know that genes are patentable; remember back during the Human Genome Project, when there was such a rush to patent them? So genes are IP. (This seems bizarre to me, since they're patenting something that was found just sitting there, but this is what the system says right now.)
Well, two other humans (aka mom and dad) did create me, based on those patentable genes (and most likely including some genes that were, in fact, patented).
I'm not sure what to conclude from all of that, but I do think that it invalidates your argument.
