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?"

The reason this makes the most sense, is because after fertilization has occurred, the Zygote is now genetically unique from its parents.
One of the main arguments against it was the egg can split up to 15 days after fertilization has occurred and create multiple individuals with the same DNA code. However, science has discovered that twins do not have the exact same genetic code. Anyways, that is another possible legal point to start with, 15 days after fertilization when the zygote can no longer multiply.
