That's not a insignificant observation. What about fertilized eggs that start dividing like normal but a few days later divide a "little too much", thus forming an identical twin? About the majority of fertilized eggs that never get implanted in the first place?

In light of this, there is a VERY significant time in a (living) eggs life and it happens around the four week mark when the heart starts pumping and the first brain waves are detectable, and each happens often within minutes or hours of each other. I believe THIS moment is much more poignant than the act of fertilization.

But according to frog, it's not human.

I don't have much of a problem with his definition.

I can't speak for him but to me this is truly the time when the fetus goes from being "alive" in the same way that any other cell in the body is living to a full blooded human being with heart and soul. The few weeks leading up to this moment are simply too volatile with both spontaneous miscarriages to splitting (identical twins). It is also not that many days after the woman starts suspecting she may be pregnant.

Randy, I've already made the point that life is in the blood in my past posts. By the time a woman even suspects she is pregnant, the baby has developed a heart and circulatory system.
