" That is why it is futile and dangerous nonsense to draw a rigid line between God and science. There can be no such dichotomy. Whatever is the name of our creator, the ability to pursue and deploy knowledge for a living is what makes us her-his-its "special creation".( allafrica.com2010)
In conclusion, I think it is plain to see that human life begins the moment two pairs of 23 chromosomes from each parent meet up and make a new person. In other words at the point conception. It has been said too that human life is a continuous thing that started billions of years ago.
