When does life begin?

[cute_cliff07]

I have a question for those who argue that life does not begin at the moment on conception. If life does not begin at the moment of conception, when does it begin?

It is an undisputable fact that at the moment of conception, the foetus is a new, unique and separate human being. Not a potential child but a child with potentials. He might not look very attractive, but his anatomy and physiology are perfect for each particular stage in development.

It is an obvious fact that life begins at conception since it is at conception that the child receives the chromosomal genetic endowment from each parents. All other things are just a question of time for a full development into the lovely child we have at birth.

If you are sceptical about this, kindly put up your arguments. I would highly appreciate it.

Life begins at the very moment of conception. The moment when the sperm and egg become one. This is when the soul, the record keeper, if you will, of the zigote begins to record. If our souls is to be what keeps our history then God would want all of our history.

At death, be it an instant later or 120 yrs later, the acquired data is downloaded, if you will, to heaven.

There was a story of a priest, a minister and a rabbi discussing this. The priest held for life beginning at conception, and the minister maintained it began at birth. The rabbi said they were both wrong. He claimed that when the children grow up, leave home and the dog dies; then life begins.
