Pro-life video of the day: How a face is formed in the womb
by Hans Johnson
“You’ve got the cutest little baby face” – so the song goes. Well, perhaps not at first. Using scans of babies from one to three months after conception, animators for the BBC’s documentary Inside the Human Body show how three main features rotate into place in “a complicated ballet of growth and fusion of moving plates of tissue.”
It sounds like the meeting of tectonic plates on a tiny world. And it also reminds one of another song, sung 3,000 years ago by King David:
For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13 (NASB)

I. got. SO. lucky.
Watching that and thinking about the very terrible things that can happen with nasal clefts and cleft palates-I was a VERY lucky little fetus.
Beautiful to watch. Thanks Hans and Patty Ann. LL
x,
We’re lucky too. :)
wow, by 15 seconds, my 2yr old sitting next to me said “Hey! Baby face!” So amazed by science and what we’re able to see now but then yet amazed at the innocent TRUTH that is so imparted on a small child’s heart that they instantaneously speak it, without inhibition.
Oh, and x,
I meant to say ”differecnces, shmifferences”. As long as you feel lucky, so do we, on your behalf.
Thanks, Hans. It’s just stuff like this I look at and think, “Man, my life could’ve been soooo much harder than it ended up being!”
I’m luckier than I like to think I am sometimes, and it’s good to be reminded. :)
