A new type of ultrasound scan has produced the vivid pictures of a 12 week-old foetus "walking" in the womb. The new images also show foetuses apparently yawning and rubbing its eyes.
What light does this shed on when we consider our life human? Hopefully it adds more human appeal to already accepted scientific fact. According to the most rigorous of scientific methods, for over 150 years it has been an accepted fact that an individual human life begins at fertilization.

From purely a scientific standpoint, to suggest otherwise (that a human life doesn't begin at conception) requires overturning a tremendous amount of scientific evidence akin to disproving the Earth's gravitation.
