You totally ignored my post and just repeated your earlier statement.

Yes, life began billions of years ago, but you fail to show how that fact is particularly relevant to whether or not it is right to kill a particular living being or not. And you apparently don't consider when "life begins" an important criteria for your determination of when killing a human life is no longer allowable. You said when the cord was cut. But life as you are using the term doesn't start then. Life in general didn't started billions of years ago. Human life, depending on how you define it started either millions of years ago or many thousands of years ago. A new life form begins at conception. The only thing that happens when the cord is cut is that there is no longer a physical connection between this life form and its mother. If a physical connection decides whether there is more then one life or not I suppose someone killing conjoined twins should only be charged with one count of murder, and if he only kills one of them it would be something like "assault with a deadly weapon" or "attempted murder", rather then murder or manslaughter, at least if we are following your idea that the physical connection is the important thing in determining when you have a new human life with rights that should be recognized.
