If allowed to develp naturally your 12 yr old becomes an adult.

And eventually, given the passing of time, the same 12 year
old becomes dead.

A single cell zygote then is the *same* thing as a 12 year old.
And the 12 year old is the *same* thing as an adult.
And the adult is the *same* thing as a corpse.

Very zen approach to life.

It all goes around in a circle.

That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's
cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays
there.
