Actually, tpaine, her fertilized egg IS a person WITH potential. Just like you and me. The only difference is age. Personhood begins at conception--not birth. Birth is one day in the life of a person who is already nine months old.Many would disagree with what I'm about to propose be practiced by christians and anyone who recognizes that life begins at conception.
God willing, and Husband agreeing; when I have my children, I'm going to count their age beginning at nine months. And that means, I will consider my baby 9-months old when it is born.
Of course the doctors and locals may find it difficult to sign a birth certificate based on the conception date. But NINE MONTHS IS NINE MONTHS!
:oD

Actually....there are quite a few folks out there who do this. :-) Not a strange idea at all!

That is an interesting idea. The difficulty would be determining the day, since conception has a 72-hour window.
For Sandra we're pretty sure it is on or around April 15 2002. For Luke/Victoria, it will be mid-September 2004. Maybe it's best to celebrate it (assuming you celebrate the occasion) on the Saturday closest.
