I don't want your opinion I want information and source.
These are all points at which various people define the beginning of human life, usually in the context of the abortion debate, and each has a pretty obvious scientific basis.
Your opinion is that it starts at conception, but there is no guarantee that that fertilized egg will result in the birth of a human being. It is contingent on not implanting in the fallopian tunes, successfully arriving in the uterus, successful implantation, and on and on.
A rather large percentage of fertilized eggs are spontaneously aborted. Were those people?
The topic is not as simple as you appear to be making it.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
