"Uh...the sperm is alive. So is the ovum. It seems to me that life began before fertilization. Maybe it’s been a continuum since our first living ancestor—a virus perhaps—or maybe Adam."

Well, yeah, in a way. People used to say life is sacred "from the cradle to the grave," but seeing as it obviously starts before the cradle, they changed that to "from womb to tomb."

But does life really end at the tomb?

I say life is sacred "from erection to Resurrection."

:o)

Oh, and one good thinker (Dr. Mildred Jefferson, MD, the first African American woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School in 1951), had this to say: "I don't know when human life began. Possibly almost 2 million years ago, in the Great Rift Valley of Africa. But I do know that human life is transmitted to a new generation every time human fertilization occurs."

I like it. It even highlights the sin of self-gratification. ;)

Yes. I think I’ll go with Mildred.
