This is sort of the distinction I was asking about. Legal recognition versus scientific.
So I guess my question for you, just to generate a dialogue that isn't a back and forth with no progress, is "Can you explain to me why you feel like fertilization makes the most sense for a LEGAL definition of a life?" with the follow up "Are you distinguishing between a 'person' and 'life' or are they the same to you?"
