"kisses the cheek of her sister "

What a stretch Gwee doe.....where'd you find this absurdity?

What was absurd was showing my 18-year old's frinds similar pictures of the child en utero.

Somehow they were only exposed to the grainy sonogram images in all their years in school.

They were amazed that babies en utero looked . . . human.

And in an incredibly inappropriate personal note, we are having Kiddo #2's delivery induced tommorow morning.

Congratulations.

We induced with our first. It allowed us to pick the date and the doctors/nurses we wanted.

My wife picked a Monday night because she doesn't watch football. I told our son that his birthdate was picked out of the TV guide.
Power is nothing till you use it.

Not sure the story really covered "when life begins" but was more just an explanation of 4d ultrasound. A place in town does them, and many newer machines are capable.


Oh, and an incredibly inappropriate congratulations to Tim.

I am still not getting how the article relates to the title of the thread?

Nice work, TH.  Congratulations!

Tim picked up on the point I was trying to make, although I was hoping some choicer/aborter (other than AOX because his general views are well known) would weigh in on the question of when life begins as a matter of law given the very real human images in the photos.  Incidentally, I think Discovery Health or another cable health network is running an entire series on 4-D sonograms this week.

I love these 4D scans - - - It's kinda like a womb with a view.

It might help if you were a bit more specific on what you mean by "life",  "human" and "birth".  


Those were pictures of babies that were not born yet.  But I would say they were alive, which would be counter to the title of the thread.

My finger is a human finger and its alive.  But my finger is not a human being.  etc. etc.

Artist: I was being a little sarcastic with the title of this thread.  I think the images of those children, and yes they are children, makes it hard for anyone to even suggest that a human life only begins at birth.

Didn't know there was anyone who did?
