Blob or Baby

Some Christian doctors support birth control methods that allow for conception but that prevent the fertilized egg from being able to attach to the womb for nourishment. This is possibly based on the notion that the group of cells that exists at that time is just a blob of cells and not actually a very tiny baby. This article discusses some surprising new scientific evidence which reveals that, even physically, the cells form more than just a blob. see "Blob or Baby"

Another interesting fact is that the embryo normally attaches to the womb on the seventh day after conception. But, on day 6, it begins producing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, or “IDO,” which suppresses the mother’s T cell reaction and allows pregnancy to proceed after making contact with the womb. Otherwise, the mother's immune system would destroy the embryo. Pretty sophisticated for a "blob"!
