A person is "alive" when they are conscious and capable of rational thought. Clearly life begins at some point between those two.Just a question, not a criticism-
How would you define "rational" thought and what age do humans posess that capability?
I only ask because I heard one of Obamas advisors has actually argued FOR after-birth "abortions" for children up to 3 years old since they are not capable of rational thought. (I might be wrong about the age)
