Life is a very complicated term, it's hard to argue that something is not alive, even harder to argue that something is, what are our standards for what is non living and what is living in this largely deterministic universe? [[User:Poonj|Poonj]]

==Scientifically speaking==
Scientifically speaking, human life begins when it's both LIFE and HUMAN. It is both fully alive and fully human at the very moment of conception.
DNA research proves that it is also a unique human organism in that it is not a clone of either of its parents. In other words, it is not "Part" of its mother. It well may be inside of its mother, but if she swallowed a grain of sand, that's not part of her. The baby may also be highly dependent on the mother -- but if she has tape worms in her intestines, those are dependent on her too -- but they are not part of her.
The baby - from the moment of conception - is inside and dependent on but not part of the mother. This is simple biology.
The real question is not whether abortion kills an innocent human life -- it always kills an innocent human life.
(Remember, a human being is any human in the state of being.)
The real question is under what circumstances it is acceptable to kill another human.
Those who believe that God created man kind argue that killing another innocent human is wrong.
