DeeeeShevil · **Age -** 11-09-06

I was thinking about this while I was driving to work one day.

My thought was why doesn't anyone count the time you were conceived to be your true age. That is when we truly exist or life starts in my opinion. The more I thought about it some people might not remember when the child was conceived for many reasons.

However, it does make senses why birthdays are started when someone gets out of the mother's womb. The more I think about it, it isn't such a huge deal as I made it out to be in my head. So what do you think? When do you think age should be defined when the egg and sperm fertilize or after birth?

Aww...maybe I'm too tired and overworked.

WHAT, WHAT, and WHAT?!

First off, a QUOTE-UNQUOTE human life isn't considered as such until it has the possibility of being able to survive outside of its mother's womb...until said point in time it is considered to be a part of the mother or something along the lines of a parasite. So no, your life doesn't exist when you're conceived. At least, not according to our law.

On a philosophical level...well, let me get back to you on that one.

I'm fully aware of the law. I took some law courses when I was in college. I still keep up with my readings about new laws.
