Perhaps a better question is, “when did your life begin?”
Sacred Heart Guardians acknowledges the truth that the life of a new human being begins at fertilization. The gametes cease to be and a new organism comes into existence. A single-celled human embryo (“zygote”) is a living human being, just as it is in all the following developmental stages of life. Our mission witnesses to this truth. View our recommended resources which have helped us along the way of understanding the lives and development of the youngest, most fragile, human beings.
“We were also aware that our work would enable us to examine a microscopic human being – one in its very earliest stages of development…” p. 80.
