At conception, it must be alive or it would not grow?
Your share of rights depend on your existential power (the strength of your ego, intellect, conscience, etc), not on being a life form. Hence why animals and plants get such a raw deal. Something just conceived lacks even a nervous system, so it wouldn't feel, emote (emotions), think, have memories, or anything of the sort.


A moral being is an entity for whom the disadvantage of others is an issue.
