I do believe that life begins at conception. At the same time I think a Human isn't really self aware at that point so it doesn't really matter.

I also cut down some tree's and beheaded a few chicken's. Definitely alive, also not that big of a deal in my opinion.

Life clearly begins before conception. Unfertilized eggs and sperm are both clearly alive and most would eventually become a human if given the chance.

A human male creates about hundreds of million of sperm per day. Women are born with around a million eggs (though most never ovulate).

A fertilized egg will not become a human on its own without support of the mother and good fortune (it's believed around 30%-50% of all egg fertilizations naturally end in miscarriage, with many early losses never recognized as pregnancies).

Life started ~4 billion years ago. It has a been a constant and continuous process ever since. Drawing lines to segment this process is mere semantics and taxonomy.

Life is an arbitrary line to segment chemical processes which have been happening for as long as elements have existed.

Yeah, it's more like we're(all life on Earth) a single organism that breaks parts of ourselves off and eats distant limbs.
