When DOES life begin, not when did life begin.

You think everyone will agree with that?

No, some people will argue that it begins when memory development begins, or when the fetus/child is able to feel pain.

In my opinion, "When does life become valueable?" would be a much more complicated and interesting question.

I'm pretty sure the sperm and ovum are live cells even before conception.

Feel free to start a thread asking that question. Why have you not answered my question since it is so “simple”?

Define "life", and then you have already answered your own question.

Well, that is the problem isn't it? You have to define it for yourself. That's kinda part of the question.
