[Debate] When does life start?

[Mante]

when the embryo's heart starts beating? :|

Psychologically it would be at about 4/5 years old. Up till those ages we have as much control over our own life as a pet. I would say that life starts when memories begin to develop.
Medically it is about 24 weeks after fertilization, in the first 24 weeks of pregnancy the fetus can be aborted.
Socially, it depends, some would say that age 16 is the beginning of life, as this is the accepted age of beginning a life away from family.
Religiously it wold be when the sperm meets the egg, thus making abortion of a fetus an act of murder.
I would say that there is no accepted beginning of life. My earliest memories start from the ages of 7, so this is the beginning of life as I remember, from the ages of 0 to 6, I may as well have been non existent. But, other people have memories of me before that age, so to them I was very much alive.
This is a debatable subject, that none can give a generalized response for. Certain methods of study and belief systems have varying answers.

so a newborn baby has no live? didnt it breathing? didnt it get hungry? didnt it scream when you hurt it?

bro my little sister is 3 years old, so did it mean that she has no live?

think about it

Life doesn't really begin until you've found yourself, otherwise you're just a lost being, one that doesn't know what to do with themselves
The thing is this can happen anytime and is different for everyone.

 

[soulreaper11]

life start the moment you are born

How about a more philosophical view? Life starts you found your calling in life, your purpose. The thing that gives your life meaning.

 

[NarutoNoob1]

In my opinion it starts once fertilization has successfully happened because then the diploid cell that is produced has the potential to become into a living organism.
But, I am not sure whether it is 100% true as I am still a bit confused about life itself.

So right now the majority of the world is not living?

I have to disagree. At this point, and for some time after, the fetus is the same as a disease or growth on the body. I think Dr House said it best when he told a patients parents that she "Had a growth inside her".

Please don't SPAM...please

Well if you look at it from that prospective, then yes most of the "world" is not living.

Life starts when one knows the difference between right and wrong. Only then is one considered a sound being with not only body but soul and spirit.

It starts when you want it to. When people start to learn to be responsible, learn to respect, able to handle relationship, and etc. This could happen at age of 2, 3, people can learn around age of 18, or 30-50. Life's beginning can vary for a lot of people, but at the end it will only begin when you desire it too.

Reading this, I got the impression that one could have many lives. For every challenge that we are given, we can have a different "life".

it's at the moment of conception because many cases have been looked at that show people meeting unborn/aborted relatives in heaven so that means life is created as soon as the 2 cells unite, awareness can come at the age of like 6 so that means that child isn't alive...obviously not, you may think otherwise but it's at conception xd

No cases have been looked at to show anything in heaven. Heaven is not a proven place, so it can no case that concerns heaven can be looked at...

Whenever I start thinking about and researching this topic I always begin contradicting myself.

So I don't care when life begins but I believe that abortion is fine before a baby is born.

 

[killerbeesama]

it starts when the baby is out of the mother and breathing air

Could we draw a line between life in the biological sense and the philosophical sense? It would really help O_O
Cause if you're asking it in the biological sense, I don't see how this discussion is any fun .-.
No, it's when we get philosophical that shit starts to get cvazay
But biology-wise, I'd say at the first heartbeat O_O

I say when the egg and the sperm cell joins​
