When does life begin? And who has the right to decide? Science gives us a clear biological starting point: At conception, a new human organism is formed with a complete and unique set of DNA. This isn't a matter of belief, but of biological fact. (Molecular Biology of the Cell, Alberts et al.) Yet, this fact launches us into one of society's most profound ethical dilemmas, pitting personal autonomy against the sanctity of life.
For Christians, this scientific reality resonates with the spiritual truth of Psalm 139: that every life is known, valued, and intricately formed by God. Navigating this tension requires more than soundbites—it requires deep theological, ethical, and scientific grounding.
