Random House Webster's College Dictionary (my Shorter and Concise OEDs being at home -- I have told you before about the unfairness of undertaking these discussions when I'm at the office and away from my reference library) "conceive...9. to become pregnant." Says nothing about how. "pregnant..1. having a child or other offspring developing in the body; with child or young..." "offspring ... 3. the product or result of something." Surely you will agree that Mary became in a state of having a child or other offspring developing in her body. Nothing about how it got there or what it was the product or result of. Now will you admit defeat (technical, perhaps, but defeat nonetheless) and let me get back to work?
