It is an absolute scientific fact that life begins at conception. Every medical textbook that deals in reproduction states this. It's not a matter of belief or faith. Moreover, many things are true regardless of what the whole world thinks or believes. The world was not flat when everyone on it believed it was.

Human reason and intellect can bring an honest person to the fact that once a human life begins, a human being at any age is a human person. Not a potential person, a person with potential.

This too can be understood apart from faith.

Even an atheist can see this simple truth if they are intellectually honest.

--It is an absolute scientific fact that life begins at conception.--

But many disagree at what point 'conception' occurs.

Clearly life begins at conception - when the sperm penetrates the ovum. Every IVF and ESCR group bases their jobs on it. In a lab in a dish 5 or so days after conception [when the sperm penetrates the ovum] EMBRYONIC stem cells are harvested....killing an EMBRYO, a five day old human life, a human person who HAD potential to do great things. We have ABSOLUTE Irrefutable truth, Scientific proof

AND THERE IS MORE. Can you contradict the following?

* In 1981, a US Senate committee held hearings on when human life begins. Speaking on behalf of the scientific community was a group of internationally known geneticists and biologists who had the same story to tell, namely, that human life begins at conception - and they told their story with a profound absence of opposing testimony.

Dr. Micheline M. Mathews-Roth, Harvard medical School, gave confirming testimony, supported by references from over 20 embryology and other medical textbooks that human life begins at conception.

* "The Father of Modern Genetics" Dr. Jerome Lejeune told the lawmakers: "To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion ... it is plain experimental evidence. Human life begins at conception "

* Dr. Hymie Gordon, Chairman, Department of Genetics at the Mayo Clinic, added: "By all the criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception."

Dr. McCarthy de Mere, medical doctor and law professor, University of Tennessee, testified: "The exact moment of the beginning of personhood and of the human body is at the moment of conception."

* Dr. Landrum Shettles, sometimes called the "Father of In Vitro Fertilization" notes, "Conception confers life and makes that life one of a kind." And on the Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade, "To deny a truth [about when life begins] should not be made a basis for legalizing abortion."

* Professor Eugene Diamond on the Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade: "...either the justices were fed a backwoods biology or they were pretending ignorance about a scientific certainty."

UpAllNight, the "many" you refer to are the liars who changed the definition of pregnancy from conception/fertilaization to implantation. They did this soley to legitimize the pill as a contraceptive and so it would not be feard to be an abortifacient.
