If you disagree that life begins at conception, then state when it does, and give support to your statement. I say it begins at conception, not by my opinion, but by what science states. Here are the supporting references to my statement, and I ask again: IF you disagree, then tell me when human life begins and back it up. As far as twins goes, at least one of their lives begins at conception Dr. Micheline M. Mathews-Roth, Harvard medical School, gave confirming testimony, supported by references from over 20 embryology and other medical textbooks that human life began at conception. * "Father of Modern Genetics" Dr. Jerome Lejeune told the lawmakers: /"To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion ... it is plain experimental evidence."/ * Dr. Hymie Gordon, Chairman, Department of Genetics at the Mayo Clinic, added: /"By all the criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception."/ * Dr. McCarthy de Mere, medical doctor and law professor, University of Tennessee, testified: /"The exact moment of the beginning of personhood and of the human body is at the moment of conception."/ * Dr. Alfred Bongiovanni, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, concluded, /"I am no more prepared to say that these early stages represent an incomplete human being than I would be to say that the child prior to the dramatic effects of puberty ... is not a human being."/ * Dr. Richard V. Jaynes: /"To say that the beginning of human life cannot be determined scientifically is utterly ridiculous."/ * Dr. Landrum Shettles, sometimes called the "Father of In Vitro Fertilization" notes, /"Conception confers life and makes that life one of a kind."/ And on the Supreme Court ruling _Roe v. Wade_, /"To deny a truth /[about when life begins] /should not be made a basis for legalizing abortion."/ * Professor Eugene Diamond: /"...either the justices were fed a backwoods biology or they were pretending ignorance about a scientific certainty."/ Texas Parkinson's Advocate wrote: >So the question stands - if life begins at conception, what about twins, >triplets, etcetera? > >Oh, and by the way, just so everyone knows, I've had the misfortune of >meeting Mr. Doerflinger during one of his many paid jaunts to appear before >a state legislature committee. Make no mistake about it Mr. Doerflinger is >no scientist or ethicists.
