The photos speak for themselves and show that life truly does begin right at conception. Of course this will not provide anything close to the “proof” abortion proponents would need to change their minds, and the reality is that the baby, in their mind, does not truly exist or have the right to exist until the mother makes that decision.
So a physiological demonstration such as the one below would have no impact. But for those who believe that life is sacred and should be honored and protected, this is a stunning display.
Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film.
An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception.
Scientists had seen the phenomenon occur in other animals but it is the first time is has been also shown to happen in humans.
Not only is it an incredible spectacle, highlighting the very moment that a new life begins, the size of the flash can be used to determine the quality of the fertilised egg.
Researchers from Northwestern University, in Chicago, noticed that some of the eggs burn brighter than others, showing that they are more likely to produce a healthy baby.
The discovery could help fertility doctors pick the best fertilized eggs to transfer during in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
“It was remarkable,” said Professor Teresa Woodruff, one of the study’s two senior authors and an expert in ovarian biology at Northwestern.
“We discovered the zinc spark just five years ago in the mouse, and to see the zinc radiate out in a burst from each human egg was breathtaking.
“This means if you can look at the zinc spark at the time of fertilization, and you will know immediately which eggs are the good ones to transfer in in-vitro fertilization.
“It’s a way of sorting egg quality in a way we’ve never been able to assess before. All of biology starts at the time of fertilization, yet we know next to nothing about the events that occur in the human.”
Currently around 50 per cent of fertilized eggs do not develop properly and experts believe that faulty genetic code could be responsible.
The new findings could give and extra indication that an egg is flourishing. A video of nine human eggs coming into contact with sperm enzyme showed two flashed much brighter than the rest.
“This is an important discovery because it may give us a non-invasive and easily visible way to assess the health of an egg and eventually an embryo before implantation,”
“There are no tools currently available that tell us if it’s a good quality egg. Often we don’t know whether the egg or embryo is truly viable until we see if a pregnancy ensues,” said co-author Dr Eve Feinberg.
“That’s the reason this is so transformative. If we have the ability up front to see what is a good egg and what’s not, it will help us know which embryo to transfer, avoid a lot of heartache and achieve pregnancy much more quickly.”
The bright flash occurs because when sperm enters an egg it leads to a surge of calcium which triggers the release of zinc from the egg. As the zinc shoots out and binds to small molecules which emit a fluorescence which can be picked up by camera microscopes.
Over the last six years this team has shown that zinc controls the decision to grow and change into a completely new genetic organism.
“These fluorescence microscopy studies establish that the zinc spark occurs in human egg biology, and that it can be observed outside of the cell,” said Professor Tom O’Halloran, a co-senior author.
Over one million abortions are performed in the United States each year, even though we are barely at population replacement levels in this country. And one shocking study found that 86% of abortions are committed for convenience.
This is possible in part because the abortion lobby has been able to convince a large percentage of women and girls that the growing, developing embryo is nothing more than a clump of cells that can be dealt with however the mother chooses. While this study may not change any minds, it is now much clearer that conception begins with a flash of light at the very moment the sperm fertilizes the egg. Now that should be an inconvenient truth for the abortion lobby.

40 years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the infamous Roe v. Wade case struck down state laws prohibiting abortion, thus making the killing of an unborn child legal in all 50 states. Since that fateful day, more than 54 million babies have been legally slain in the womb. Today’s article shows what the vast majority of people, including doctors, already know to be true—life begins at the moment of fertilization. Sadly, this fact has not deterred those who, for whatever reason, think a woman’s “right” to an abortion is more important than the child’s right to live.
When the soul enters the body.
False, life began with dust and the breath of God
