Has life started yet? Is there a new entity on the face of the earth or is that still 6 months off in the future? Is that a human being or is it a mess of cells that is still only a third of the way done being cooked and unable to live out in the world despite every medical advance or piece of machinery known to man?

Conception = To unite in sexual intercourse; to come together in the act
of generation.
You think that both are indistinct. I do not agree.
I will not continue to argue. Seems that most of you guys already have the idea of abortion as an option.
So if money is an issue (for the next 18 years); I will think that having a pet who requires a 2 grand surgery and I am broke; I will rather spend 200 to get a new one, based, again, on the money issue ?

You can't compare pets and future children. Completely different ballparks of responsibility.
Conception, by definition, is not a birth or an end result. It is the creation of an embryo or zygote (NOT a human - yet). Another definition of conception places the word somewhere between a concept and an idea - something that is in the beginning stages of being formed, but by no means exists in it's "production" phase so to speak.

For sure a kid is million times more responsibillity than a pet. They will very likely live after your death and they can be even better than you.
A common pet dies < 20 years and they are usually dumb. Not rulling out there are dumb people; but brain is there to correct those issues.
Is my opinion that the child should be born and if they do not want it they should give it to someone who wants to adopt him/her.
enuff

If you get an abortion at all, get it done super early. look how its developed at the end of the 1st trimester and the end of the second trimester.
12 weeks of development: By this point, nearly all of the organs and structures of the fetus are formed. They will continue to grow and develop until delivery. Fingers and toes have separated and hair and nails begin to grow. The genitals begin to take on their gender characteristics. Amniotic fluid begins to accumulate as the baby's kidneys begin to produce and excrete urine. The muscles in the intestinal walls begin to practice peristalsis - contractions within the intestines that digest food.
24 weeks of development:
Your baby's growing steadily, gaining about a quarter of a pound since last week. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long, that makes a pretty lean figure, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon put on more baby fat. Your baby's skin is thin, translucent, and wrinkled, her brain is growing rapidly, and her taste buds are forming. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance that helps the air sacs inflate easily.
