Life and personhood are very different referents.


>Obviously it does not begin the moment of conception.

============

There is no such event as the moment of conception.


>A human life is one that is living physically separate from another.

=============

Physically separate in a naive, perceptual sense? Separateness is very problematic if one takes one's cues from contemporary scientific theories..........
