When Does Life Begin - Simplified

I recently received this comment:

So, you never actually took a stand... When does life begin? Conception? When the heart beats? When the brain has activity? Just wondering, since you never really stated.

I never stated, but the Scriptures did. Life begins before the heartbeat, before brain activity and even before movement.

Psalm 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Life begins at “substance” when the human is yet incomplete.

I guess it would be considered conception, whether naturally or by SCNT, the result is the same – growth and maturity. If either is implanted into a womb the result will be a baby.

The point is, either way, the baby is a human long before it breaths air.

Is that any clearer?
