Pointing out someone’s ignorance is not pejorative. We’re all ignorant of something.I would appreciate it if you would not violate the rules by your abusive use of the word "ignorance".
We’re a “first-world” nation, yet have done a terrible job keeping mothers alive.Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor working at the Vienna General Hospital between 1844 and 1848, noticed a stark difference in maternal mortality rates between two wards.
In 2022, the maternal mortality rate in the United States was 22.3 deaths per 100,000 live births, which is a significant decrease from 2021's rate of 32.9. However, this rate is still higher than other wealthy countries.
- In the midwives’ ward, the maternal mortality rate was 36.2 per 1000 births, while in the doctors’ ward, it was a staggering 98.4 per 1000 births.
I would take into account that the 10% rate was 176 years ago.I would consider the 10% rate "abysmal" compared to 22 per 100,000.
Errr…does that mean all those who failed to implant are now somewhere else…spiritually? Ie heaven?[I am sorry for your loss.]
??? Are you saying that when a sperm enters an ovum that a “human being” (complete with a “human soul”) is created?
Upwards of 40% of fertilized ova fail to implant (or fail to implant sufficiently) and are evacuated during the next menses cycle.
My mother had 3 miscarriages. I very much believe those souls are in heaven and are praying for my family and the entire world.I care because I lost my daughter because of that. I had a dream about her in Heaven. There are a lot of children that were aborted that are hoping beyond hope that their parents will get saved and go to heaven. But they know the odds are against that. When my daughter found out I was saved she and her friends all rejoiced and were happy. Also my son is in Heaven now, so he can tell her about me.
I forgot about that, There was a miscarriage so I do have three daughters but I did not raise any of them. I only raised my sons. But now I remember running out of gasoline on the way home from the doctor. The gas station would not help me but a customer did. I actually do that all the time. I walk up to people even at random and ask for help and they are always happy to help me. I can walk up to most anyone and start a conversation and they respond and go along with the flow. Sorry I drift from topic to topic like that. But that is the way my mind works.I very much believe those souls are in heaven
You will be very surprised when you see how much family you have in Heaven. My wife has a close knit family and there are two or three hundred of them that are alive today. When we do there to visit a lot of them come to see us.My mother had 3 miscarriages. I very much believe those souls are in heaven and are praying for my family and the entire world.
The body is dead and in the grave but the people are alive and in heaven. Perhaps they have a spiritual body there.Can I be super blunt and say none of us know how the afterlife functions since none of us are….well…currently dead?
People become who they are at conception. They have all of their gifts, talents and abilities. In psalm, 139 16 God writes the book of their life.Errr…does that mean all those who failed to implant are now somewhere else…spiritually? Ie heaven?
Well you said “near 100%”I thought that I had clearly said “homosexuality“.
Transgender people‘s sexuality cannot be deduced from the fact that they are transgender.
People need to realize that one in 500 are xxy or xyy. They have an extra sex chromosome.Transgender people‘s sexuality cannot be deduced from the fact that they are transgender.
I don’t cotton go the notion that a “person” is created at the time of conception, but if we assume so for the sake of argument, it could follow that such a “person” would be innocent of sin and therefore admitted into the Pearly Gates.Errr…does that mean all those who failed to implant are now somewhere else…spiritually? Ie heaven?
I am 100% talking about the DNA. Everything is there in the beginning.I don’t cotton go the notion that a “person” is created at the time of conception
This is a case where monozygotic twins were born where one was male and the other was female. One ovum, one sperm and yet each developed into a differing sex.I am 100% talking about the DNA. Everything is there in the beginning.
That is why I can have a conversation with my daughter in Heaven, even if it was just a dream.
Since we really can’t know anyway, I’ll leave it at that.I don’t cotton go the notion that a “person” is created at the time of conception, but if we assume so for the sake of argument, it could follow that such a “person” would be innocent of sin and therefore admitted into the Pearly Gates.
If this is the case, it brings up a question of why God would like all of these innocent souls to abound in heaven?
Life can be a roller coaster ride with bumps and curves. We go through 7 stages in life that are very different from each other.things are much more complicated than we can even fully comprehend.
Since you only have one cell at conception, how can this be true for identical twins or triplets?People become who they are at conception.
Not true. A zygote does not possess the capacity for thought or sensory input.They have all of their gifts, talents and abilities.
Does this mean every abortion and murder and rape are preordained?"all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be."
Nothing is added to the genetic information. It is a question of what gets expressed and what does not get expressed. So they do appear to be different but they still have all the same DNA they had in the beginning.Since you only have one cell at conception, how can this be true for identical twins or triplets?
You haven't answered the question. I'll rephrase it: since identical twins or triplets don't all exist at conception, but some come into existence after conception (when the zygote splits), doesn't this refute your claim that "People become who they are at conception"?Nothing is added to the genetic information. It is a question of what gets expressed and what does not get expressed. So they do appear to be different but they still have all the same DNA they had in the beginning.
But if the cells don't yet exist at conception, because you can't have twins or triplets occupying one cell, the above paragraph is irrelevant.Gene regulation is the process that controls when and how much a gene is expressed in a cell. This process allows for different cell types in the body to have different active genes, even though almost all cells contain the same DNA. These different gene expression patterns result in different sets of proteins in each cell type, which allows each cell type to specialize in its function.
I realize that, but both identical twins can't "become who they are at conception" because they don't both exist. No textbook is required.You can buy a high school or college biology book on Amazon for $5. There is a lot of information in the books we are suppose to read.
Sure, disregard the consequences of “personhood at conception” because we can‘t know for certain what becomes of these poor, innocent souls.Since we really can’t know anyway, I’ll leave it at that.
