Personally, I define it as when it's able to live outside the womb unaided, which can be as early as 26 weeks gestation.
The key point here is that this is my definition and that I wouldn't demand a law forcing my definition on someone else.
Yea but your definition IS forced on someone.
Once an entity be it a chick, an embryo, a zygot, an amoeba has animation be it even un-discernible, it has another force.
The drive to continue to exist. I would say in my 70 years of existence of limited exposure to entities that appear animated in order to continue existence that drive to exist to continue existence is "life".
Otherwise the point where an entity no longer strives like in a suicide to want to exist, ALL life strives to continue existence.
So when a human organism, i.e. point of living outside of the womb struggles to continue to exist EVEN though YOU PredFan are putting a pillow over it's mouth to cut off air OR if the organism moments after the inanimate becomes animated is terminated either event is "TERMINATION".. i.e. the ending of animation, i.e. the ending of the struggle to live.
Abortion is the action except in the case of rape,incest or health, of termination of another being's struggle to exist and other then the exceptions is the action of people that were ignorant of the consequences of their irresponsibility.
