So Often, the advocates of abortion try to tell us that the unborn are no more than "a clump of cells", "reproductive material", and simply "part of the woman's body". All these statements are meant to mislead us into believing that the unborn child is not really alive - that the child is something less than human. Actual scientific study, on the other hand, has shown us the ... truth - that pregnancy occurs when a single sperm penetrates the ... egg. This process, called conception or fertilization, is the point at which a new human life is formed . The developing embryo, or unborn child, is given its own unique set of DNA--half from the mother and half from the father. The DNA is like a blueprint which pre-determines the child's physical characteristics and many other traits as well. This unique DNA code that is formed will remain unchanged throughout the child's life. |
