Conception

No definite answer

These different scientific approaches to the same problem may sometimes confuse the layperson who tries to learn at what particular moment a human life begins. However, we may well remember that the advances of modern science have also shattered many traditional assumptions about the exact moment of death. With our increasing scientific knowledge, the beginning as well as the end of life have become more difficult to define. Indeed, it is now very hard to pinpoint any specific moment for either. It seems that we need to know still more (and develop a more precise terminology) before we can really answer these difficult questions.
