Did conception occur before or after the embryos were created? I need a biology lesson on this, I guess. Is it immoral to have sexual intercourse and not to get pregnant?

Brooke Shields' baby is beautiful from what I've seen in the grocery store check-out lines.

Conception is defined as the fertilization of an egg to create an embryo. The Catholic church recognizes the embryo as a human life.

Is it immoral to have sexual intercourse and not to get pregnant?

I'm not Catholic, but inside of marriage and done without contraceptives, no, that wouldn't be immoral. I suspect any other permutation might not be acceptable to Catholics, and other denominations may "split the vote" on some permutations...

beezdotcom answered your question.

the bottom line, human life begins at conception when the 2 haploid cells (egg and sperm) unite to form a "new" human life. A question I usually ask the pro aborts is this "does the union of egg and sperm create life or cause death?"
