Different groups define pregnancy and abortion-related terms differently. This can make dialogue and even elementary communication very difficult. Pro-life and conservative Christian groups have one set of meanings. Pro-choice, physicians, and medical researchers often have a different set. In this series of essays, we will use the medical definitions. Two key phrases used throughout this section are: Human life: This is any living entity that has DNA from the species homo sapiens. This includes an ovum, spermatozoon, zygote, embryo, fetus, newborn. It also includes an infant, child, adult, elder. It also includes a breast cancer cell and a hair follicle and a skin scraping. Some forms of human life have little or no value; others are the most valuable and precious form of life in the known universe. Human person: Any form of human life that is also considered a person, and thereby has civil rights, including the right to life.
