I really and honestly believe that life starts when an individual spermatozoid fertilizes an individual egg. In this moment life in its whole extent is conceived. What do you think or believe? P.D.: I just would like to see how many people won't remain in the very question. Miguel...life? Human life? As in organic life? Or awareness? Which one? Life, the living entity... consciousness? And which life Miguel, human life, or all life? A life begins at successful delivery... but a living entity begins at conception... an aware, sentient being never stops... so no end, no beginning. |

I agree with you Miguel. But, to extrapolate your question further, does this mean that just because an egg is fertilized that "life" truly begins? I think everyone needs to look at his or her own conscience and belief system to answer that for themselves. That is exactly my point. My question would be better. what does your conscience say? I believe that life begins at conception. When it comes to a question of abortion, which is where my mind goes when a question like this comes up and maybe it's not your intention but I'll answer it as if it were, I think that "life" begins still at conception. But, I think that the mother's rights and "life" override any potential life that is created at conception. I do not believe in abortion for myself, however, I think it is my right to choose what happens with my body and my life. I don't advocate abortion and I certainly don't think that it should be used as a form of birth control. But, there are very good and valid reasons for ending a pregnancy and life within the first say 10-12 weeks of a pregnancy and even after, under some circumstances. I know I probably just opened a can of worms. Everyone has an opinion and everyone thinks they are right. And I think both sides of this particular argument are both right and wrong, there is no black and white, there are a million shades of gray in between which need to be taken into account. Which is why I think everyone needs to look into their own conscience, decide what is right for themselves, and accept whatever consequences come of their action.
