That was an excellent article, giving me something to think about.
One question:  What makes the moment of conception a "special moment"?
I consider the moments when the baby has a "functional" brain and when
the baby can survive outside the womb to be special moments, even though
you can not time them exactly.  What about the moment the fertilized
egg attaches itself to the womb?  It is possible for an egg to be
fertilized but never become attach and develop.  This is can be caused
artificially by IUD devices.  Is that the same as an abortion?
