Define conception. Easiest is fertilization of ovum with sperm. That's a sad definition for human life. That does not take into account of the millions of things that need to take place to develop into a viable human that can sustain life on it's own, even with the aid of medical science.
Want evidence? Look up Molar Pregnancy. Look up Ectopic Pregnancy Stats. Look up the stats for estimate of fertilized eggs that do not implant. Look up fatal birth defects stats (cdc). Go to any pathology web site and look at placental/uterine pathology.
