I understand the fact that there is DNA  in every cell, but it all started 
at conception, a unique permanent ID that is undisputable.  To me, that is a 
signature of life, and doesn't depend on any arbitrary proclamation of when 
it begins.

DNA is there from the beginning but it is in every cell in your body and you
don't  consider each cell a person.  Are you saying then that DNA should not
be disturbed in any way?  Should IVF be banned?

You must know that during IVF, a few ova are fertilized and then frozen.
When
used, they inplant one fertilized ovum in the uterus. If it works, a baby is
born 9 months later. What happens to the frozen fertilized ´embryos´? If the
couple does not want any more children, those ´embryos´ are destroyed. If
not
destroyed, they can be used to produce a line of stem cells that could
finally
contribute to a cure or at least a treatment for some disease. You prefer
those embryos to be destroyed? your choice but some people prefer to use
them
to help sick people.
I prefer hope to and end in a bin
