At the moment of conception, one cell (the sperm) merges with an other cell (the ovum). That's all the change that occurs at the moment of conception. The resulting new cell is not sentient, it's just a cell. For a long time after that, the resulting lump of cells is not sentient, does not even vaguely resemble a human being, but is merely a lump of cells.
Where is the "big-time biological change" in all that?
