If life begins at conception, then Americans should be able to legally drink at 20 years and 3 months, amirite?

No because the legal drinking age is not "21 years after life begins" it's 21 years after your birthday, on your 21st birthday.

Actually, it's when you're 21 years old. We only take the birthday as the start of life because that's when we actually see the baby. If life begins at conception, then we will celebrate conceptionday or fertilisationday instead of birthday, thus the age will be 20 and 3 months.

Did you try to type a comment; or did you just smash your face into the keyboard?

The latter. A copied post doesn't deserve typing.

What the hell were you trying to say in that first comment?

This post, I thought, was originally from a comic series called Something Of That Ilk.

That's a stretch, but I won't argue.

The drinking age is 21 because by then, the prefrontal cortex, more commonly known as the frontal lobe, is fully developed. That part of the brain is that part that (suprise!) makes decisions. The frontal lobe does not begin development as a fetus, therefore the drinking age is logically 21. I'm pretty sure my English teacher told me most of that.

*BAM*...science...

Although, it's actually 25 when the frontal lobe finishes, not 21.

If 21 is "the logical drinking age", why does literally no country outside of the US enforce it?

I don't understand why this post is aboUt abortion. Could you explain for me?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Pro life people often believe that life begins at conception, and that is one of the reasons you shouldn't abort fetuses. So you can easily take this post as mentioning pro-lifers as well as bringing up drinking age.

Human gestation is actually 40 weeks give or take for normal variance. But it is generally 40 weeks. It's closer to 10 months. so 20 years and 2 months old. Either way...the reasoning is not sound even granting life beginning at conception. When the rule was made it accounted for age post exit of the mother's womb.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

No, it's not closer to 10 months. 40 weeks = 280 days, which is 76.7% of a year, which is barely over 9 months.

The concept of life beginning at conception is a religious idea, and according to most, religion has no place in laws and politics.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Called it.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

It's not a religious thing. I believe life begins at conception, and I'm not religious, and I'm not prolife either.

The American drinking age should be in your teens, like everywhere else in the world, but that's another post entirely.
