Medieval authorities determine a person to be “alive” if there is either a detectable heartbeat or brain-wave activity. With that in mind, it is eye-opening to realize that unborn children have detectable heartbeats at two and one-half weeks and detectable brain-wave activity five and one-half weeks after conception. What is so shocking is that essentially one hundred percent of all abortions occur after the seventh week of pregnancy.
