VIDEOS OF HUMAN EMBRYONIC AND FETAL DEVELOPMENT
Conception to birth — visualized | Alexander Tsiaras 10 minutes
FETAL HEARTBEAT W ULTRASOUND (~150 BPM)
SUMMARY, REGARDING FERTILIZATION AND EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT:
FIRST, LIFE BEGINS AT FERTILIZATION; WE HUMANS ARE NO DIFFERENT (UNIVERSAL LAW)
CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT OF TISSUES, ORGANS AND SYSTEMS
FROM THE ZYGOTE, THROUGH 9 MONTHS, UP TO BIRTH.
AFER BIRTH, DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES, UP TO ADULTHOOD.
THEREFORE, THERE IS NO STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT WHEN WE,
ALL OF A SUDDEN, PASS FROM BEING NON-HUMAN TO HUMAN.
RATHER, WE ARE HUMAN, FROM CONCEPTION TO DEATH.
ONTOLOGICAL STATUS OF THE HUMAN EMBRYO AT THE ZYGOTE LEVEL:
INDIVIDUAL HUMAN LIFE?
HUMAN BEING?
HUMAN PERSON?
PERSON, PROSOPON = MASK
from Classical Greek Theatre
ENSOULMENT:
IMMEDIATE: AT FERTILIZATION
DELAYED: SOMETIME AFTER FERTILIZATION
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HUMAN SOUL:
INDIVIDUAL (PERSONAL)
SIMPLE (INDIVISIBLE)
ETERNAL (HAS AN ORIGIN, BUT NO END)
SUBSTANTIAL UNITY BETWEEN BODY AND SOUL:
WE ARE BODY AND SOUL, ONE SAINT POPE JOHN PAUL II
AND, CONTINUOUS EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT FROM ZYGOTE TO BIRTH.
THEREFORE, THE ONLY LOGICAL MOMENT OF ENSOULMENT IS AT FERTILIZATION.
TELEOLOGY = ULTIMATE END, FINALITY = TO BE IN UNION WITH GOD (BEATIFIC VISION)

RESORPTION: 1 SOUL -> SPLIT -> 2 SOULS -> RESORPTION (DEATH) -> 1 SOUL

LARGEST GENOCIDE IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY
Norma McCorvey’s prolife conversion in her own words:
I was sitting in O.R.’s offices when I noticed a fetal development poster. The
progression was so obvious, the eyes were so sweet. It hurt my heart, just
looking at them. I ran outside and finally, it dawned on me. ‘Norma’, I said to
myself, ‘They’re right’. I had worked with pregnant women for years. I had been
through three pregnancies and deliveries myself. I should have known. Yet
something in that poster made me lose my breath. I kept seeing the picture of
that tiny, 10-week-old embryo, and I said to myself, that’s a baby! It’s as if
blinders just fell off my eyes and I suddenly understood the truththat’s a
baby!
I felt crushed under the truth of this realization. I had to face up to the awful
reality. Abortion wasn’t about ‘products of conception’. It wasn’t about ‘missed
periods’. It was about children being killed in their mother’s wombs. All those
years I was wrong. Signing that affidavit, I was wrong. Working in an abortion
clinic, I was wrong. No more of this first trimester, second trimester, third
trimester stuff. Abortionat any pointwas wrong. It was so clear. Painfully
clear.
HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES TO ABORTION:
KEEPING THE BABY
GIVING THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION
ESSENTIAL: TO OFFER FULL SUPPORT TO THE PREGNANT MOM.
