"Where does life begin?" is, in itself, a philosophical question, not a political one

Also depends on what you mean with life.

A bacteria is alive, and if you use that definition of life then it doesn't start at conception because the sperm and egg were alive too. Instead, life started a few billion years ago and it's just been dividing and recombining cells ever since.

Under most legal systems, a human life with rights and stuff ends when the brain dies and loses its information. The rest of the body can stay alive (in the biological sense) for longer, possibly years in the case of organ donors.

So if a human person that has rights is actually the information stored in the brain, then it makes sense to start personhood when the brain first starts running.
