I personally believe life begins at conception. This is really by scientific definition. At conception (by this I mean when the baby implants, not when it is fertilized) there is a complete set of human DNA, and the cells are living, developing, and functioning. Due to this, by scientific definition, it could be argued that both life, and the genetic properties necessary to define that life as human, exist at conception.

"complete set of human DNA, and the cells are living, developing and functioning"

Someone arrest my barber ;)

 

LOL. The other factor is that the cells I speak of are in the process of developing into a full, functioning human body. Your hairs are not. Also, hairs themselves are not actually living cells, they're not supplied with nutrients or anything after they leave the root.

Can you imagine a group of activists that thought killing human hairs was evil? That would make for some funny protest signs.
