I believe a life starts to develop at conception. I don't know if anyone can argue that.
The real question is if it's the equivalent to that of the woman carrying it. The bible says no, they are distinctive and not treated the same. Does the Spirit enter the vessel at conception? The moment it takes in the "breath of life"? Sometime in the 3rd trimester (point of viability)? Only God knows definitively.

I firmly believe that life begins at conception. Because brain waves are now detected 6 weeks after conception. That means the unborn baby is processing information with his brain even if it doesn't articulate words. At 6 weeks, the mother may not even know she is pregnant.
I had 4 children, and I felt them all kick at three months. I think when your feel your child move inside you, you would have to be a monster not to know that the baby is alive, growing and well.

Jeremiah 1:5 (nkjv) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
I believe life technically begins BEFORE conception.....because that is when we know God first.
But that's just my thoughts....We all have to decide what's right for us.

If life does not begin at conception, then when does it begin. To me it makes no sence to say it begins at 1 wk, 6 wks, or whenever.
Psalm 139: [SUP]13 [/SUP]For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Interesting story when Mary, the mother of JESUS, visited old cousin Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist. Both ladies were pregnant at the time. Both babies were unborn, still in the womb...Elizabeth's baby jumped for joy when he was near baby JESUS. There was no mention of either being an embryo or fetus. It was a time of rejoicing and blessing, way before those two baby cousins were were breathing oxygen.
No one knows with 100% certainty that the fetus is no different than the woman carrying it at conception or when it takes it's first breath. Both sides will claim they "know" but it's just not true. There is enough ambiguity in the scriptures to make cases for one believing life does begin in the womb and that the fetus is not regarded the same as the life of the woman carrying it (Exodus 21:22-25).
People are afraid to say, "I'm not sure" or "I don't know". I don't know when it begins, for this reason, I side with caution.

Sort of true. Human life begins when a man and a woman come together. Followed by the sperm penetrating and fertilizing the egg. It's at this point that half the people think it's no different than the mother carrying it, and the other half that say it's still in the developmental phase so it's not regarded the same (which is biblical according to Exodus).
Pro-life argument: If it's not a human being, then what is it? A ferrit?!
Pro-choice argument: No one is saying it's a ferrit, but the life is not on the same level of the woman carrying it according to Exodus.
Pro-life argument: No! It's a human being right at conception even though the bible doesn't say this explicitly. It's implicit!
Pro-choice argument: No! The next step is for the fetus to finish developing and to be birthed for it to be on the same level of the woman.
Pro-life argument: No way, it's a child of God!
Pro-choice argument: Potentially, you mean...

I believe God knits our spirit into the physical components of our body at the start of human life...conception.
The body will be a product of the DNA associated with it in the physical sense.....and it is in a fallen world...so the body can be genetically messed up but the spirit inside is from God.
Psalm 139:13-14 (NASB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.
[SUP]14 [/SUP] I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
Proverbs 20:27 (KJV)
[SUP]27 [/SUP] The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
