The Beginning of Life
Life begins at fertilization, when a sperm unites with an egg. From this moment, the being is highly organized, has the ability to acquire materials and energy, has the ability to respond to his or her environment, has the ability to adapt, and has the ability to reproduce (the cells divide, then divide again, etc., and barring pathology and pending reproductive maturity has the potential to reproduce other members of the species). (W.D.L.B)
"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."

The hand and foot taken from the discarded remains of an abortion, shown by a penny. Decide for yourself if this was a potential or actual human life. (Alcorn)
