Science is providing answers to the single most contentiontious issue in American doemstic politics. The central question of the abortion debate has always been: when does a fetus become a human being? Abortion advocates like to claim there there is a a period post-conception in which the term "fetal tissue mass" is appropriate to describe the child being gestated. The de-personalized phrase then begs the question: when does the FTM become a human being?

It's OK but I think I've seem better on a PBS special.

One part I liked is just after 3 minutes where you can see some clear shots of the baby's tail at just over a month old. Then before it's 2 months old the tail is gone but it still doesn't look all that human.

Around 4:30 at 12 weeks, the end of the first trimester, it's starting to look pretty human though you still can't determine the sex, I didn't know that boys and girls sex organs looked identical at that age. I wonder how many women know they once had an indifferent penis?

One thing I didn't like was the huge gap from 3 months to 8 months, it showed nothing in between! That's why I think the PBS special was so much better, since it showed the entire development without such large gaps.

But it was still worth watching so thanks for sharing it!

I just watched this video. When something astounds a mathematician with it's mathematical complexity it is worth pondering.
