So why doesn't life begin at conception?

[Deja Q]

Poll question: So why doesn't life begin at conception?

Why is there no 'Conception Day' - why has nobody conceived this?

And more amusingly. have you fathomed when yours might have been? (Halloween here!)

[ZombieNixon]

1. June 7-18ish or so?

:shrug:

Maybe I should call my parents and ask! :rofl:

[NewWaveChick1981]

2. I thought life began at 40...

:shrug:

[Sugar Smack]

5. Yeah! Yeah!

That's what I've heard! :D

[billyskank]

9. So...

does that make me unborn?

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

12. Born again, daaaahling.

:toast: :hug: :loveya:

[NewWaveChick1981]

40. It's true, dahling...

:hi: :bounce:

[billyskank]

7. Is 40 the new zygote?

:shrug:

[Richardo]

23. .

:spray:

Brilliant! :toast:

[NewWaveChick1981]

39. Yes. Yes it is.

:hi: :*

[billyskank]

42. So....

do you mind having an affair with the unborn? ;)

:*

:loveya:

[NewWaveChick1981]

41. Oh, and I was born on May 2 ...

If my calculations are correct, then Mom and Dad were rockin' and rollin' over Labor Day 1962... :evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

3. I can tell you one thing

I have not conceived anything or anyone on this particular day.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Well...we do celebrate BabyG's conception day at our house...

It's Thanksgiving. :D

[bigwillq]

31. Must've been all that turkey!

:P :)

[Mutley]

6. Sometime in February.

If I count nine months back from my birthday, it'd be February 16th. I don't know if that's accurate, though.

[billyskank]

8. mutley!!!

:hug:

[Mutley]

11. billy!!

That hug is good. I had a rough day. Thank you.

:hug: :loveya:

[billyskank]

13. Oh I'm sorry to hear that

Please have another: :hug:

:loveya:

[Mutley]

16. Thanks, sweetie.

You, too. :hug:

How are you doing?

[billyskank]

17. Okay thanks.

I am turning off and turning in now. :hi:

:loveya:

[Mutley]

22. Good night!

:hi: :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Hmmmm....two days after Valentine's Day....maybe you arrived

two days late?? ;) :hi:

[Mutley]

15. Come to think of it

yeah, I was late. I remember my mom telling me the doctor had to induce labor. :D

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. I was conceived on my brother's 1st birthday...which always

kind of grossed me out for some reason. Really, the whole idea of one's parents "conceiving" grosses me out. I'm immature that way. :D

[Ohio Joe]

14. Well, having been born on Sept. 24

I know what my parents were doing the previous christmas eve :o

[Sugar Smack]

20. I was conceived in Iceland!

But I've never got to see it.

[Sugar Smack]

26. Iceland, I mean.

[trof]

19. I'm guessing around New Year's Eve?

Surprise, surprise.
;-)
I appeared 8/22.

[Pool Hall Ace]

21. April Fool's Day

so sez Mom
:P

[Mr. Blonde]

37. About when mine would be also

It is amazing the number of my friends who have birthdays in the first couple of weeks of April. I wonder what their parents were doing to celebrate American Independence. :)

[Montauk6]

24. Well... isn't the conception a party in and of itself?

[Deja Q]

25. I wouldn't know.

:rofl:

[Random_Australian]

27. What. The. Fuck. I just realised when my date corresponds to.

July 18.

You will have no idea why, and I am not saying, but in this particular instance, I can't believe my freaking eyes.

I'm leaving, and I am not coming back today.

[Deja Q]

28. Because it's my most bizarre thread topic ever?

:cry:

Sorry to make you leave. :cry:

[Random_Australian]

33. I'm back momentarily, and no, don't worry about it hypno.

Nothing to do with you, but there was just less time between two incidents than I had assumed.

Now now, don't cry, you know I can't stand to see people cry.... look, have a hug: :hug:

:pals:

[Aristus]

29. I know when my conception day was.

I used that little conception-wheel do-hickey at work that the doctor uses to calculate how far along an OB patient is. My conception day was the day before my father left for Vietnam. :-) Yep, no surprises there. :-)

[baldguy]

30. Life began 4.5 billion years ago.

[Redstone]

32. Because it doesn't.

34. What about premies or late babies?

The religion in which I was raised (I call myself a Jewish agnostic) states that life begins at birth. The bible says nothing about abortion. The Catholic Church allowed abortion until 1869, and when it was considered a sin, it was because of sexuality, not the taking of a life. In many cases, it has been 40 days for a male and 80 for a female or 40 days for either.

[Redstone]

35. The OP said "at conception." That's what I was talking about.

36. Another Hallowe'en embryo here!

or is that zygote or blastocyst or something?

Think of all those disappointed trick-or-treaters in 1963 in Harrisburg, Pa! Maybe there's some lingering bad karma from that. :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

38. Hooray, a reason for me to post a Mitch Clem comic
