Though very technical, it is worth reading, because it confirms, yet once again from a scientific standpoint, that life begins at the very moment of conception.

Human Personhood Begins at Conception

THE CODE FOR HUMAN LIFE we were once a fertilized egg, a blast, once an embryo, once a fetus, human, with our very own Human DNA since conception.  We were once microscopic-Americans. Once we have our own human genetic code, we are metabolizing as a single-cell entity, we are a living human being, therefore; we are a human be-ing that is biologically and scientifically testable.   At that moment we have that inalienable right to: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and property.   

The right to life is considered the most fundamental inalienable right there is.  Therefore, no one can determine when that right begins and no one can give that to you.  You have it when you become a human at conception.  When you get your full human genetic code.  Unmistakable to be matched to any other species, you’re human. 

Because of the intrinsic dignity of each and every person, each individual has certain rights and obligations, which every other individual would have to respect.   This is what’s required in order to live as a human, as the Lord Himself wanted it to be lived. (CCC) Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.  

Inalienable rights belong to us by our very nature and existence; we are human and have that intrinsic dignity of a human being; we automatically have these intrinsic rights. No human being gave us these rights; they came from God.   So, we humans all owe each other certain inalienable rights which belong to us by our very nature and existence, by the fact that we are human and that we exist.  By the fact that we have the intrinsic dignity of a human being and that we exist, we automatically have these rights because of that intrinsic dignity, period.

To: cpforlife.org; syriacus

Freeper Syriacus once offered the analogy of 'would you shoot into a box if you weren't sure it was empty, and then if you wouldn't shoot into the box under those circumstances, would you shoot into the same box if you didn't know whether there was more than one person in the box?... As a refutation to the notion that embryos should be fair game for killing and exploiting so long as they are young enough that twinning could still occur. [I think I got that right ... perhaps you could correct me, syriacus.]
