Summary/Abstract: In this article, we will present some theological and medical considerations regarding the moment when human life begins, analysing in parallel some arguments that come to distract from this debate. From a medical point of view, there is the biologists’ consensus on when human life begins, a consensus that does not concern the sphere of subjective opinions, but of scientific evidence. In addition to this, the spiritual plan has many implications when the answer to the question “When does human life begin?” is intentionally distorted. The debate on this subject should not be overshadowed by other global problems but, on the contrary, should be in our attention because it concerns the beginnings of the life of each of us and our concern for future generations.
