Is it a sin??????

This is strange as there are really people who think like this.

I have taught Koreans for almost 7 years and they believe that the moment they were born, they're already considered a year old. The strange thing is when they are in dilemma as to have abortion or not (it's something they can easily do, in hiding, though), they would say, "If it's below three months, it's not a baby yet, it has no life, so it's ok to abort the baby."

Basic principle; Life begins at the moment of fertilization, and sex, traits are then fixed! Regardless of the number of weeks, life begins at the moment the egg is fertilized by the sperm.

You're right!!! In Taiwan it is the same, they always add 1 year to our age. They said life begins at the moment the egg is fertilized by the sperm.

I cannot resist with them as it's sounds true

Yes, life begins at the moment of fertilization. However, if you compute it, the gestation period does not even reach a year, so I find it strange to consider a baby a year old upon birth.

The ironic thing here is that they would say that it's ok to have the unborn child, with life, aborted if it's below 3 months, thinking there's no life in it yet.
