Sadly nothing will move the pro-aborts from their position. This was and is about seeking the power over life and death and thus attaining equality with the Creator. Any restrictions on it will not be allowed.

New Scientific Study Proves Human Life Begins at Conception

From the article:

A research team including Antonio Giraldez, from the Department of Genetics at Yale University, has been working on discovering how this first step in human life happens.

"What hasn’t been clear is how and what kick-starts the transcriptional activity of the embryonic genome, so that the embryo starts taking control of its own development with its own genetic blueprint,” he said.

Dr Giraldez and his team, who published their research on Monday in the journal Developmental Cell, discovered that two factors were required in order to activate the DNA in the genome.

The research focused on the pattern of transciption within the nucleus of zebrafish embryos. The team then created tools to visualize the first activated gene in the zebrafish genome.

They discovered that two proteins are needed in order to activate the genome300 and Brd4, which are both produced by the mother. If either or both of these proteins are blocked, or their activity is disrupted, the development of the embryo is in turn blocked.

"These molecular factors act as a sort of molecular timer, which sets the timing of genome’s awakening,” Dr Giraldez said.

"Finding these key factors involved in genome activation serve as the critical first step towards our understanding of how life begins.”
