Think of all the work it's going to take to change birth certificates and other legal documents.
If life begins at conception, then my birthday would have been yesterday, not in December.

And we could all go to bars sooner too.

i have wondered at this question myself.
many years ago, i found a long PAPER on the internet about an experiment of defining life when the spirit enters the body. Most often the fetus can be measured when a "spirit" enters the robotic life form in the womb.
usually the spirit was measured to join the body at birth.
However there are eyewitnesses to the birthing process and the joining of spirits to the fetus as described that it can happen anytime during incubation. And at the same time any spirit can also choose to abort and leave the fetus if it has joined already in the womb.
the mormon church declares that if God takes a spirit ! before it is born, the body has fulfilled its specific Function already. While others live a full life and never finish their requirements of life.
then comes the idea of reincarnation. For such who are neither worthy of going to heaven or better than a necessity of going to hell, they are given a second chance.
Conception is not a guarantee that life exists in the womb, but killing a child which is still in the womb is considered murder.

Birthdays are celebrations of birth, which doesn't occur at conception but at . . . birth. In some cultures the first birthday celebration occurs at one year because so many babies die before that first birthday, and the one-year mark is seen as a major mile stone.
Couples who want a baby have their own way of celebrating conception. We don't usually throw big parties for private moments.

A birthday, by definition, is the day of your birth. So, no.
If we had conception days, would we get two parties? I do not know that I want to celebrate the day my parents shagged. Even if I do get a party out of it.

A person's birthday is the day they were born because that's when their mother gave birth to them.

Your birth day is your date of birth, the day you come out of yo momma, and besides, who actually knows their own date of conception? Most people's parents cant even provide that information, unless of course they were VERY sporadic with their lovemaking.

Uh...no.
Life begins at conception...but your birthday is the day you are born.
Birthday = the day you were given birth.

Because you'd have to call it conception day and Hallmark would have to change all the cards. It would get ugly.

Not really because "birthday" means when you were "born".
We could have a "conception day", however!
