Just to set the record straight, life begins at puberty.
Science says that things that are alive are born, reproduce and die. Children can not reproduce, so technically they are not alive yet. Kids are just glorified sterile larva.
Here is how it really works:
A sperm and egg meet, and create a clump of cells. This is the microscopic stage that I like to call the germ stage.
Shortly after we enter what I like to call the parasite stage. Were the clump of cells develop in to this nasty ass parasite looking thing.
Then comes the little freak stage, this is when you can actually start to make out that this is supposed to be a thing.
We then enter the sprog ejection stage, were the horrid little thing is shot out of the mother, so to better allow her to run from lions and survive to pump out more sprogs.
This is then immediately followed by the eating and crapping stage, intended to increase the size and survivability of the sprog.
It then enters it’s final stage of gestation were it goes to school, gets fired from a paper round, realizes it is alive, and starts to prepare for reproduction.
This is when life begins, and we should get to change out mind any time before that.
