2. The Miracle of
Fetal Development

3. At 24 days,
the baby’s heart
is already beating
(photo of feet at 7 weeks)

4. The preborn child meets all of the scientific and
legal conditions for life by the time he or she is
only five weeks old ― beating heart, measurable
brainwaves, consuming nutrition, excreting
wastes, and so on.

6. "A zygote is the beginning of a new human being
(i.e., an embryo)" [The Developing Human:
Clinically Oriented Embryology (2003, 7th
Edition),
page 16:2].
"Development begins with fertilization, the process
by which the male gamete, the sperm, and the
female gamete, the oocyte, unite to give rise to a
zygote" [Langman's Medical Embryology (2006,
10th
Edition), page 11].
"[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 (2008, 3rd
Edition), page 2].

7. Take any cell from a preborn baby
― eye cell, skin cell, liver cell, any
cell ― and any microbiologist can
tell you that it is both living and
human by examining its
chromosomes.

8. The unborn child is a living human being…
