3-D sonogram of Unborn Child



VATICAN CITY, FEB. 24, 2006 (Zenit.org).- The embryo, even if it is not being nurtured in a maternal uterus, is a child, said the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life. Bishop Elio Sgreccia said this in a press conference regarding the upcoming congress "The Human Embryo Prior to Implantation: Scientific Aspects and Bioethical Considerations," organized by the Pontifical organization in the Vatican on Feb. 27-28. "In any case, the embryo is a child: a boy or a girl, that has a special relationship with his parents and, for those who are believers, also has a special relationship with God," said Bishop Sgreccia in the Vatican press office.

Boy! Bishop Elio got that right! I remember when my wife had a still-born baby (twice) and I held the dead child in my hands and baptized him (Stephen). This child was about 4 months in the womb and was really just a little baby, who could have lived a long life outside the womb! So, please, don't tell me about "it's just a blob or mass of tissue in there", it is a child!
