Let's Talk About Life

This post is not about ending a life, it is about the beginning of a life...

Life begins at conception.

If you disagree with the above statement, then before we can go on... I need you to tell me one thing.
If "it's" not "a life" (and alive), then what is "it"?

That group of cells which are dividing and multiplying on their own is not a tumor....
that group of cells that can ONLY grow into one single individual human being and nothing else, that mass of something alive, capable someday of running for President or just being a good mom or dad or a deadbeat living in your basement forever, tell me ...if it's not "life" then what in the Wide World of Sports is it?

If a human embryo is not the beginning of a human life... specific only to that unique individual and nothing else, then tell me "what" it is.... show me one that grew up to be a rock or even a tree or something other than a person.
