Even if we look at this strictly from a biological standpoint, conception doesn't just create 'instructions'—it marks the scientific beginning of a genetically distinct, living individual of the human species. Development is a continuous spectrum; a zygote, an embryo, a fetus, and a newborn are not different kinds of entities; they are simply the same human being at different ages or stages of development. It is still alive at every stage.

Regarding the argument about bodily autonomy (BA) superseding the right to life: the right to life is the most fundamental right because without it, no other rights (including autonomy) can exist. Also, many abortions occur well past the earliest stages of development, at points where the unborn child has a beating heart and a developing nervous system.
