Rest easy in the fact that you know that human life begins at conception. Most Pro-choice folk try to argue that life starts far after conception (ie separate life); yet, apparently some feel they can make a point by asserting it starts before conception.

In the end, it's semantics. The definition of life is where you place it. Will a skin cell grow into a person if left unattended? No. Will an egg? No. Both require some form of outside factor to support it. You can  take — and they have taken — skin cells and fertilized eggs. And they were just as alive as bacteria which we have no problem eradicating, species of animals we are harvesting to extinction or people, who we have no problem treating horribly.

BTW, if left unmolested, a fertilized egg will perish. It requires intervention, albeit of an organic nature. Skin cells and brain cells likewise perish without intervention. Take any from their host and they will break down.

Can I call it or can I call it?

I'm sorry. I didn't get that. You were saying?
