When does a human (or any other animal) life start ? What actually is 'life' ?

Come on - I dare you to try and define it...

Remember we humans are animals.

Religious explanations are not permitted. Only science-based ones.

Life begins at conception.
@Iwillwait No it dont. Every hear of a fertilized frozen embryo? Those can stay frozen for years....the record is 21 so far and still impregnate someone. The moment of fertilization is the moment of conception. Freeze a living baby for 21 years and let me know how that works out.

@anythingoes477 So when the Human race determines how to cryogenically frezze a full grown human, what will the argument be then?

@anythingoes477 So what is 'life' and when does it start? Why not freeze adult humans and bring them back 100 years later like nothing happened.
@butterflybaby75 Well.........try to claim a child before it's born as a dependent and see what the IRS says. If the SCOTUS says the law of the land is now......."as soon as an egg is fertilized it's a human being".........then why can't you insure a fetus with life insurance? Why does another federal agency...the IRS......say a dependent isn't a human dependent until After it's born?

Your Bible says life begins at first breath; clumps of cells don’t breathe air in the womb. Genesis 2:7 says, "He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and it was THEN that the man became a living being.”
@Iwillwait That's pretty stupid........your comment. if a human being was frozen......to unfreeze later.......wasn't it already born? How many births do you think people get to determine when they started living? DUH!!!

@anythingoes477 May I ask, what verse states Life begins at first breath?

Jeremiah 1:4-5 ESV / 19
Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.


Psalm 100:3 ESV / 16
Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Luke 1:31 ESV / 14
And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name "Jesus."
@Iwillwait Genesis 2:7 is already referenced in my first post.

@anythingoes477 I appreciate you and your reference of GENESIS 2:7,Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

This explains GOD'S Creation of Man, this does not define life as a definition of Life being from a Birth and breathing air.


We have all been predetermined as to our purpose, with "Free Will," being the ultimate proof to the Lord of our Love and Obedience. Once conceived Life has begun.

I understand your explanation of "Glob of Cells," this is a falsehood that had been indoctrinated into our society for the sake of the practice of abortion, which really is just a mass genocide.

If your Loved one who has made it to your definition of "Life/Living," being born, is now for some reason on "Life Support," and would not survive without it, are they not still alive?
@Iwillwait "This explains GOD'S Creation of Man, this does not define life as a definition of Life being from a Birth and breathing air."

In fact that is exactly what that quote says. No adult starts life by having the breathe of life breathed ibto them. A baby gasps it's first breathe at birth.

The second part........their BODY is artificially being made to go thru the motions of being alive.......on life support. But if brain waves are not existent...that person is dead. Who that person used to be is dead.
