Initial brain activity would be another clear dividing line. As would the first heartbeat. Taking the first breath was the traditional dividing line for centuries.

You talk of vagueness, but for me "life" is too vague to be giving something all the benefits of being human. A planarium is alive. A virus is arguably alive. A sperm cell is "life."
