When does human life begin?

Does human life begin at conception? Is that a developing human in the womb? This is currently a huge political issue in the United States,(that's why I brought it to the politics section) and I want to know what people here think and also have some arguments regarding what is widely regarded as the popular view by biologists:

That human life begins at conception
