I stated, “As a matter of biology, a zygote inherits DNA; therefore, as a matter of biology, a zygote is alive.”  However, you stated, “Discussions like this always get bogged down in crosstalk where defining "alive" by different people come from biological, moral, religious, and legal perspectives.”  I am investigating your statement.  Please define the concept of life in legal terms.  Thank you.
