Bababoo,
I'l just chime in with two pennies worth in response to this question that you posed:
"Also, answer me this (yes or no): would you say that life may start at conception, we just can't be sure?"
It's really not a "yes" or a "no".
My observation has been that life continues. Where it starts is for you to find.
Now, if the thinking is in reference to the stage 16 mitosis embryos that are sitting in liquid nitrogen waiting for their viability to expire before they are disposed of as "medical waste", my opinion is that the use of the "embryonic stem calls" they contain be used to expand existing cell lines, and hopefully fine a purpose better than being discarded. Maybe some remedies for devastating diseases will be found.
And, please, don't bring the fear of "cloning" into the discussion.
