When Does Human Life Begin?
A Fresh Look at Scientific, Scriptural, and Historical Evidence
There is a tension that exists between those who believe in scientific progress through any means and those believe in a foundational morality as the basis for all of our actions, and scientific advances. Nowhere is this debate more fiercely seen than that in the stem cell and abortion debates seen today. What is the basis for this conflict and for the positions each side takes? The nexus of this conflict is one of the most fundamental questions mankind has faced one that reaches the very level of our own unique human identity When Does Human Life Begin?
In order to understand the question of when life begins we must first attempt to understand what forms the foundations of our current history. This book is the beginning of an effort to align history with the perspective of scripture and biology to investigate life’s origins. This book provides a unique perspective into a debate totally entrenched in dogma and emotion. While is it deservedly so a hot-button topic - few may stop to consider the reasons for their belief, or of their opponents. It is hoped that by further understanding the foundation for our current thinking - that we can come to an understanding that brings greater clarity to the debate _ and the solution.
