I've never heard so many people absolutely ignorant of basic biology! Life begins at conception.

From the moment of conception of a human egg, this new life has its own genes different from both the baby’s mother and its father. In this moment although invisible to the naked eye, the color of the eyes, hair, and skin, facial features, body type and certain qualities of personality and intelligence are all determined by this genetic coding. This unique person will have its own fingerprints different from every other human being. Within the first month from conception, this baby will have reached a half inch in size and will have the beginnings of a circulatory system, heart, brain, lungs, eyes, and ears. The unborn child although different in size and location is living and growing just like any other child. (Part of a letter to the editor just published.)
