When Human Life Begins
Alexandra DeSanctis
National Review

No one congratulates expectant parents on their “product of conception.”

No one throws a “fetus” shower.

No one thrills to hear the “embryonic pulsing” of their “clump of cells.”

No one is surprised when a pregnant mother gives birth to a human child.

We all know it: Inside every pregnant mother is a human being, her child. That child starts his life invisible to the naked eye, to be sure. From his very first moment in existence, however, his unique genetic code and the tiny cells of his microscopic body have everything they need to continue growing through each stage of human development.

We all expect it: The blastocyst grows into the embryo, into the fetus, the newborn, the toddler, the child, the adolescent, the adult, the man. He is the same human being all along, from the moment of conception. And he will develop through the course of a full human life — unless his life is cut short.
