OM is fundamentally an orientation/position of profound gratitude.
All living beings lose the essence of their life properties eventually: this is defined by the particular configuration of the atoms and molecules in their body and around them that enable life functioning. Once this configuration (really configurations) is disrupted, the descending OM begins.
The beginning of the OM is of course the first moments of existence, i.e. the particular configuration manifested in the post-contact reality of egg and sperm, pollen and germ cell. Note, this says absolutely nothing at all about the moral status of such a configuration, merely that this is the first utterance of the OM. This is true of every living being.
