When do you become a human being?

[*bfine32*]

It's kind of a semantics debate; as Dictionairy. com states:

any individual of the genus *****, especially a member of the species ***** sapiens.

So at conception you are from the genus ***** but are you an individual?

If pressed I would assert one becomes a human being once the umbilical cord is cut. Prior to that; it's a child.
