cience is providing answers to the single most contentiontious issue in American doemstic politics. The central question of the abortion debate has always been: when does a fetus become a human being? Abortion advocates like to claim there there is a a period post-conception in which the term "fetal tissue mass" is appropriate to describe the child being gestated. The de-personalized phrase then begs the question: when does the FTM become a human being?
Alexander Tsiaris of Yale Medical School has produced a beautiful video overview of fetal development, from conception through birth, that details the process visually, and puts the lie to efforts to find a strict dividing line between FTM and human being.

This is a beautiful video. I hope it goes viral.
No it isn't.
Only idiot pro-choice types try to claim the fetus isn't a separate being or that it is human.
The question was answered quite precisely (though improperly) in the Roe decision.
That question is at what point in its development the fetus becomes a person under the protection of the Constitution and laws.
Roe decided that though a separate human organism the fetus was unworthy of the protection of the laws.
A very little-known aspect of this issue is that the USA provides less protection for the unborn than most European countries.
Whew... that’s an absolute mindfreak. Gorgeous in every single way, and this mathematician said it best, “It’s magic, it’s divinity.” (para.)
This is why I think we will win the abortion battle without legislation. The more medical science learns the harder it for the pro-abortion fanatics to continue to spread their lies about an unborn child being nothing more than undifferentiated fetal tissue. I can assure you that PPH will do everything in its power to make sure this type of information is not shared with the masses. It is our job to make sure it is. cut and paste the address for this video and send it to everyone on your email list.
G*d works in mysterious ways and giving man the knowledge to build the technology that unlock the secrets of conception and birth is just one of those ways.
This man has to be thanked and blessed for this film.
What a patently stupid assertion it is to claim that a fetus isn’t a human being.
Human beings don’t become pregnant with phlegm. The reproductive process of humans produces only humans- not cats or monkeys.
If it wasn’t a living being there would be no need to kill it- phlegm doesn’t have a heartbeat, or a face.
Bttt. My little boys keep asking about the development of our baby (due in about 7 weeks). I’ll show this to them later.
He said, “divinity”, what, like THREE TIMES..?
I understand the magic —I agree. But I’ve worked somewhere like that, and talking like that is a huge, huuuuuuuge No No.
That teeth-gnashing lezbos will give him grief, well that’s a given, and who cares? But the other elites disapprove of this also, and the people who fund his lab.
They’ll get calls, telling him they’re funding a Southern TV-preacher, or something.
They’ll make him out to be a religsiou whacko, something he clearly is not.
They’ll be totally unforgiving, totally unenchanted by the magic that inspired this honest man.
THAT GUY IS GREAT!!!
*** “How can anyone say that math, science, and technology is not spiritual?
*** “How can anyone say that math, science, and technology subjects are religiously neutral? “
The next time a defender of our godless socialist K-12 schools posts that science, math, and technology is religiously neutral, I will post this.( Their consciences are likely past feeling though. )
It is amusing to listen to atheists and other secularists arguing about “the quickening” or when a body receives its soul. Conception is the only event they believe in.

Thank you very much for posting that..
Amazing, thank you!
Ah but he isn't! I did look him up, and found a very interesting site and business he is CEO of:
Alexander Tsiaras is an internationally renowned journalist and author. After his first book, Death Rituals of Rural Greece (Princeton University Press), he went on to write Body Voyage (Warner Books) and co-author Information Architects (Graphis). As an artist and technologist, Tsiaras participated in developing scientific visualization software to enable him to "paint" the human anatomy using volume data. The recipient of numerous awards, including the World Press Award and several Art Directors Awards, Tsiaras and his work have been featured on over 85 covers of magazines such as Life (including an entire edition of Life devoted to his anatomical computer renderings), TIME, New York Times Magazine, Discover, Smithsonian, GEO, and the London Sunday Times Magazine. Most recently, he is the author of From Conception to Birth: a Life Unfolds and The Architecture and Design of Man and Woman: The Marvel of the Human Body, Revealed.
Tsiaras has given the keynote speeches at many conferences including the TEDMED, Medicine Meets Virtual Reality (MMVR) and has lectured with Stephen Hawking at the MIT Media Lab, National Library of Medicine (NLM/NIH) Visible Human Conference.
An amazing site with some very interesting VisualMD videos. Thank you!
