When does life begin?

Since the Terri Schindler-Schiavo case has been in the forefront, I have heard a lot of people say that until we get the question of when life begins right, we will have trouble with when or how to end it. I thought I would take a little time and clear this up because it’s not that difficult. When the pronucleus of the human sperm, containing its 23 chromosomes, fuses with the human ovum’s pronucleus with its 23 chromosomes and a new cell containing 46 chromosomes is created, human Life has begun. Whatever the reason, any purposeful destruction of this new, unique, cell is murder.
