You have to draw a line somewhere, arbitrary or not, otherwise a mother could kill her 40 year old son and argue that it's arbitrary to say that life begins at any particular point and therefore you can't say for sure that he was alive

And don't tell me that the line is when the baby comes out teh vag, because that's just too arbitrary
