Brain Surgeon Confirms Human Life Begins at Conception: This is Settled Science

A celebrated New York pediatric neurosurgeon said the science is “obvious” that human life begins at conception.
In a column at Evolution News, Dr. Michael R. Egnor, a professor of neurosurgery and pediatrics at State University of New York, Stony Brook, and award-winning brain surgeon, expressed frustration that some scientists still mislead people about when life begins.
“They have an ideology to sell, and if truth gets in the way, so much the worse for truth,” Egnor wrote.
The problem is their pro-abortion beliefs are more important than the truth, he said, pointing to a recent blog post by P. Z. Myers, a biologist at the University of Minnesota Morris. A proud pro-abortion “progressive,” Myers claimed it is “absurd” to say that life begins at conception.
“Can I just say that the claim that ‘life begins at conception’ is sufficiently absurd in all of its particulars that anyone who says it needs to be laughed off the stage?” Myers wrote. “Life doesn’t ‘begin’ at conception … it’s about when human personhood begins, which is a much fuzzier and poorly delimited thing altogether.
