From the point of view of modern biology (genetics and embryology) human life as a biological individual begins with the fusion of nuclei of male and female gametes and formation of a kernel, containing unique genetic material. Throughout fetal development the new human body cannot be considered part of the mother's body. It cannot be likened to the organ or part of an organ of the parent body. Therefore, it is obvious that abortion at any stage of pregnancy is the deliberate termination of human life as a biological individual.
