I view there as being no "beginning" of a human because the egg and sperm that united to become what would grow into me were also "me" in the sense that they were alive and I continue their life. Many embryos (perhaps 1/3rd, I recall reading) have defects causing them to die before a person even realizes she is pregnant. When you ask about how a human works, do you mean you are interested in how all the embryonic cells divide and move around to create the different parts of a baby human?

, its what drives the body to actually work. what is there, that makes the body does what it does, its hard to explain, once i find the right words i will come back cos its crossing wires right now
