conception and ensoulment

this is a debate due to subject of abortion. No one ever asks at what point life ends. Like when you stop breathing and all your formed biological processes stop working you are dead. If you do not die instantly accidentally, our bodily functions start dying slowly, but no one says your dead or uses the word fatal. IMHO, we cannot defy nature, no matter what can be achieved by surgery, big pharma or 'research'.

You have your own unique DNA at conception

Depends on your definition of life. You could say the first heartbeat signals life, but there are plenty of living things that don’t have a heart so that doesn’t really work. You could say it’s the moment the egg is fertilized and the cells begin to split exponentially, that is probably closest to the scientific definition.

Ejaculation. Those sperm cells are definitely alive.
