Medical Expert Testimonies on the Beginning of Human Life:
“This is the moment of conception, when an
individual’s unique set of DNA is created, a human signature that never existed
before and will never be repeated.” --In the Womb, National Geographic,
2005
“{The zygote], formed by the union of an oocyte and
a sperm, is the beginning of a new human being.” --Before We Are Born:
Essentials of Embryology, 7th Edition, 2008.
“By all the criteria of modern molecular biology,
life is present from the moment of conception.” --Professor Hymie Gordon, Mayo
Clinic
“After fertilization has taken place a new human
being has come into being. [It] is no longer a matter of taste or opinion…it is
plain experimental evidence.” --Dr. Jerome LeJeune, Professor of Genetics, University
of Descartes
“It is incorrect to say that biological data cannot
be decisive…It is scientifically correct to say that an individual human life
begins at conception.” --Professor Micheline Matthews-Roth, Harvard University
Medical School
“The beginning of a single human life is from a
biological point of view a simple and straightforward matter—the beginning is
conception.” --Dr. Watson A. Bowes, University of Colorado Medical School
“…conception marks the beginning of the life of a
human being—a being that is alive and is a member of the human species.”
–Judiciary Subcommittee
Pro-Choice Advocates Agree:
“There is no doubt that from the first moments of
its existence an embryo conceived from human sperm and eggs is a human being.”
–Peter Singer, ethicist
“We need to contextualize the fight to defend
abortion rights within a moral framework that admits that the death of a fetus
is a real death.” –Naomi Wolf
“I think we have deluded ourselves into believing
that people don’t know that abortion is killing…yes, it kills a fetus.” –Faye
Wattleton (Planned Parenthood)
“We can accept that the embryo is a living thing in
the fact that it has a beating heart, that it has its own genetic system within
it. It’s clearly human in the sense that it’s not a gerbil, and we can recognize
that it is human life. The point is not when does human life begin, but
when does it really begin to matter?” –Ann Furedi (British Pregnancy
Advisory Service)
“I accept that abortion stops a beating heart and I
accept that abortion ends a potential human life, even in the very earliest
weeks of pregnancy.” –Ann Furedi
“I definitely do want to talk about the fact that
when you are pregnant, there is a baby growing inside of you.” –Judith Arcana
(Abortion Counseling Service)
What determines YOUR worth?
“SLED=Size, level of development, environment,
degree of dependency.” --Stephen Schwarz
Pro-Choice arguments are about WHEN human life gains value!!!

weeks and six days into her gestation--two weeks before the legal abortion limit at just 9.5

“Behind the scenes- the model of a fetus in the womb. On
Mother’s Day, one of the most startling broadcasts will be In the Womb on
National Geographic Channel. Pictures of unborn infants are not new but this
two-hour Brit documentary uses the latest in 3-D scanning technology to provide
exceptional images of a baby girl from conception to birth.”
