(photo of feet at 7 weeks)
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.
"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].
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.
The unborn child is a living human being…
