After watching a fetal operation to cure spinal bifida I am truly convinced that life begins at conception. I wish more people could be made to watch this film. The surgery was done at 24 weeks and the leg at the knee was shown as well as the fully developed hand of the baby. He was born 10 weeks later at 34 weeks and is doing very well. Try and tell his parents he was not alive that day.

In addition one child was born at the time of the surgery and did live! I believe he was 3 when they showed him again, doing well and no brain swelling. Almost able to walk but still in need of braces. Developing slow but doing excellant by all accounts considering how traumatic his entry into the world outside the womb was.

Amazing science at work.
