obviously, the process of conception puts in motion the potential for a human being -- so i'm not sure what you're getting at with the first part up there. that's science, i understand how the pregnancy process works (and while it is tangential in your point of view, i was unclear on the fetus thing -- i'm not trying to purport that a fetus as 9 months could not feel pain, but i don't believe that abortions should happen at 9 months anyway. my point was your fetus doesn't suffer early in the pregnancy).

i say life does not start at conception and could not see how it does. therefore, no, i do not think it 'may' start at conception, because what happens at conception is not life. i still contend that if you believe that life starts at conception, then by all means treat your conception as such - but do not insist that others MUST do the same when there is no proof for it.
