We do not become more human or more alive by virtue of the time that passes from our conception. If that were true, adults would be considered more human than children. We know that this is not the case.
Well, if you can't even objectively define humanity (as a value; wothy of social protection) then this statement is speculative. Conception and birth do, in said context, happen to be arbitrary because of their non-relation to a defined life-value.
