I'm talking about a basic explanation of "when life begins".
This gets right to the crux of the abortion debate.
The fact is, we do not know when life begins. If we did then the answer is simple. The issue is that many people have different beliefs about it.
If you believe that life begins at conception then of you would be against abortion. But it you don't, then why would you?
Seems like science would explain that the life of a human begins at conception.
I don't think science will ever be able to answer that question. I think it is more of a philosophical question which will never be agreed upon.
What is life? I suspect that this is is going to become an even bigger question in the future when AI gets significantly more advanced. At what point do the robots become living things? But that is probably a discussion for another modality. I don't think we could have a reasonable discussion on an open internet forum about what life is and isn't. We would have to define life vs human life vs intelligent life...
