I'm comfortable with fuzzyness at the first 24 hours of being, although I prefer to count the beginning at the fusion of the sperm with the oocyte membrane or sometime after the sperm contents enter the oocyte, when the oocyte cell membrane becomes completely impermeable to other sperm.

I don't deny your consistency, and I appreciate your thoughtful answers.

Do you think that "fuzzyness" comes from our current ignorance of the precise time, or do you think it is a function of the fact of the continuity of physical time?

The fuzzyness that I am comfortable is a matter of hours, less than 12. And it's due to ignorance.

The fuzzyness the law tolerates is a matter of up to 9 months, and due to wishful thinking in order to justify the intentional, elective killing of human beings by other human beings.
