During the last twenty years, abortion has became one of the most debatable
subject of controversy in the United States. There are two sides to this issue. Pro-life

way. If that embryo was aborted, there would never be another one exactly like it. As a
human being, we consist of forty-six chromosomes to make up what sex we are. Two sex
cells which each contain twenty-three chromosomes have to be combined to form a human
being. As the two sex cells combine, the human being is conceived. The tiny conception
becomes known as the zygote and the inherited characteristics of a unique human being
has been established. About fifteen thousand genes from the sperm and ovum form a
unique combination. The single-celled fertilized ovum cannot be considered a part of the
woman’s body.
The fetus inside a woman’s body is capable of feeling pain. It develops the senses
for pain around twenty-six weeks after conception. Ultra sound, fetus copy, study of the
fetal EXG, and fetal EEG ha...
