"Unrestricted" is broad... yet vague.

Can you fill it out?

When do you believe it is a 'child'?

At meiosis? At implantation into a womb? (What if there is no sperm cell... and the egg lies in a petri dish and never makes it into a woman's womb?)

At one day? One week? First, second, third 'trimester'?

At medical 'viability' outside of the womb?

At birth? At weaning? At puberty?

After some 'rite of passage'?

When the soul is imparted into the body?

(Various societies/religions/philosophies have had different positions on the question of when... I'm merely curious about your views.)
