Incongruity in Artificial Conception

Annie at AfterAbortion posts the real-life quandry of a person who used a fertility clinic to artificially conceive 12 embryos and now understands more clearly the implications of believing that life begins at conception.

She wants the world to know so that no one will go through what she’s going through: that her heartbreak is as real as ours, if not more compounded. There are 12 babies she mourns, some still alive that she cannot save.

The scientists have testified under sworn oath: the human being’s life begins at fertilization, not implantation, not 8 weeks gestation, not 24 weeks, not at birth.

And we’re messing with it. We’re "playing God" when we should never have begun to do so. This story is just one of the reasons why.
