What kind of "life"? Do you mean with "life" perhaps the Psyche (Anima)?

Is it the existence of Psyche, that gives motion to the organism? Aristotle thinks so.
Has anyone studied the Psyche? Plato has.

So please clarify the question, in order to be answered: do you define "life" the way it has been defined in classical philosophy and related to Anima or do you mean something else?

A question whether Psyche enters the body at conception or at a later point, could be answered, but the way you put it is too general and not at all clear and specific.
