Report on Religious Freedom Event
Report on Religious Freedom Event by MSW. MGB: Any pharmacist who does not know enough about embryology to know that life begins at gastrulation should not be working at all, or should at least hold their opinion because they obviously have not had the education to form a professional opinion. It is basic biology that until gastrulation, maternal DNA is entirely in control and that until gastrulation, cross species hybrids continue to develop. If the moral question of ensoulment is important to them, they need to find out about the embryolical facts - which if they know anything about ensoulment (with souls guiding the physical in classical parlance), one must conclude that the individual soul is not present before gastrulation. This illustrates the problem with moral and political conservatism. It tends to reject inconvenient facts (like the fact that the lawsuit just filed is not yet ripe because the final rule has not been issued). I suspect that the world of public relations has infected the conservative movement fatally, including, sadly, the Church.
