    { 4 } - viability: when the fetus could live apart.
    { 5 } - birth.
    { 6 } - rationality: when the child thinks rationally.

7 is correct!

People agree that human life starts at

    { 1 } - conception.
    { 2 } - individuation: when the zygote can't split or fuse with another.
    { 3 } - brain waves: when the fetus exhibits brain waves.
    { 4 } - viability: when the fetus could live apart.
    { 5 } - birth.
    { 6 } - rationality: when the child thinks rationally.
    { 7 } - People disagree about this.

Different answers fit different senses of "human." So the conception point is correct if "human" means "born or unborn member of the species Homo sapiens." And the rationality point is correct if "human" means "animal who reasons."

The real issue is this: At what point in the growth process (from conception to rationality) does killing become seriously wrong?
