When Does Life Begin?

1–2 minutes

At an ecumenical round-table discussion, various religious leaders tried to answer the question “When does life start?”

“At conception,” said the Catholic priest.

“No, no,” said the Presbyterian minister. “It begins at birth.”

“It’s in between,” said the Baptist. “Life begins at 12 weeks when the fetus develops a functional heartbeat.”

“I disagree with all of you,” said the rabbi. “Life begins when your last child leaves home and takes the dog with him.”

      1. I worked with that friend in Lubbock Texas. Folks in the Southwest have lots of funny expressions in their regional dialect. I think he meant the kids would keep hanging around as long as you kept providing for their every need.
