“Cultural trends exist that seek to
anaesthetize
consciences
with
spurious arguments. With regard to
the embryo in the mother’s womb,
science
itself
highlights
its
autonomy,
its
capacity
for
interaction with the mother, the
coordination of biological processes,
the continuity of development, the
growing complexity of the organism.
It is not an accumulation of
biological material but rather of a
new living being, dynamic and
marvelously
ordered,
a
new
individual of the human species.
This is what Jesus was in Mary’s
womb; this is what we all were in our
mother’s womb. We may say with
Tertullian, an ancient Christian writer:
“the one who will be a man is one
already” (Apologeticuim IX,8), there
is no reason not to consider him a
person from conception. “
~Pope Benedict XVI, Homily, vigil for All
Nascent Human Life, Nov. 27, 2010
