- WHEN DOES LIFE BEGIN? - If the sexual gender of a fertilized egg can be determined within four days of conception, then this pregnancy tissue is more than an appendage of the mother. It is the beginning of a life.

When Does Life

Begin?

When does life begin?

This question has taken on major proportions of debate and controversy, between supporters of Pro-life and groups of Pro-choice.

To most, the answer is distinctly clear about when life begins. It begins at conception, when the sperm fertilizes the egg.

Dr. Landrum Shettles, sometimes called the "Father of in vitro fertilization" notes about life's beginnings: "Conception confers life and makes that life one of a kind."

Continuing on his comments about the Supreme Court ruling on Roe vs. Wade he says, "To deny a truth (about when life begins) should not be made a basis for legalizing abortion."

Dr. Albert Liley, the renowned physiologist known as the "Father of Fetology" has stated, "Biologically, at no stage of development can we subscribe to the view that the unborn child is a mere appendage of the mother. Genetically, the mother and baby are separate individuals from conception."

The baby is autonomous of the mother and has been demonstrated successfully since the introduction of test tube babies.

The ovum or the egg is fertilized with the sperm inside a laboratory facility.

The zygote, a fertilized egg, begins to divide and grow looking like a bag of marbles even though it may be countries away from the mother.

This halts the viewpoint that the fertilized egg (or pregnancy tissue, as Planned Parenthood calls it) is an appendage of the mother.

If any other part of the mother's anatomy is removed, such as an appendix, it will not continue to live.

But the fertilized egg has shown its autonomy in survival outside the mother's body, and has further shown its autonomy implanted into another woman.

The fertilized egg does not take on the surrogate mother's characteristics, but develops according to its own DNA make up.

Within four days of fertilization, the sex of the zygote can be determined through microscopic techniques.

Soon after one week of fertilization, the zygote contains the beginning of all major body structures.

Fetal circulation occurs by three weeks - complete with heart and major blood vessels coursing through its quarter-inch frame.

And at five weeks, all basic body systems are developing, including the brain and nervous system enabling the fetus to feel pain.

When the zygote reaches the eighth week, it is called a fetus for the remaining of the fetal development.

The fetus at twelve weeks of growth shows tooth buds, nail beds, and genitals.

By thirteen to sixteen weeks, the arms and legs are complete. There is air on the head, the skeletal system shows up on x-ray film and has breathing movements.

By the twentieth week, the baby has eyebrows, tiny nipples, sucks its thumb, and holds its own umbilical cord.

If the sexual gender of a fertilized egg can be determined within four days of conception, then this pregnancy tissue is more than an appendage of the mother. It is the beginning of a life.

We all wish to be desired - to be loved and accepted.

God has met this need through the most loving act ever done in the history of the world.

God loved us so much that He sent His son to earth to live as a man.

We are separated from God due to our sin, so God provided a way for us to spend eternity with Him in heaven.

In a great act of love, Jesus died on the cross as a perfect substitute for each of us. He died, was buried, and rose again.

When we acknowledge His gift and accept it, He comes to guide our lives and love us as we have never been loved before.

God has made it possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life by receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.

Say the following prayer:

“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You.

I am truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.

Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.

I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.

I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank You that according to your Word, I am now born again.

Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I promise to study Your Word – the Bible.

Please use me for Your glory.

In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”
