Eight weeks, six days. Day 64 in the quest to chase our little miracle
So i have been pondering, when is a life a life?
This is such a controversial topic, but i was thinking about it, and it has been on my mind all day. Maybe i am the wrong person to be writing about this, and maybe i shouldnt write something so controversial on my blog, but well, i was thinking about it, and after all it is my blog...
I know everyone has their own opinion, and i know that everyone has the right to believe what they want to believe, and to see life as they want to see it, but in your opinion - when is a life a life?
You see i never really contemplated this in such depth and after all i have been through, i think i might have a stronger opinion than some, i mean, i am one of the lucky ones, i have seen a life grow, and i really believe that at the point of a heartbeat, at 6 1/2 weeks, that, that there is a life...
How could it not be? A life begins and ends with a heartbeat... How can something with a heartbeat not be a life? But again, this is what i believe, and i have been through so much more than others.
I know it is all personal, and as i just mentioned everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it is one of those topics that i find interesting, and like most topics ones opinion comes only from experience. If you have never been in a situation like i have, then i guess the preciousness of life may not be as greatly appreciated... But then again, that too is my opinion.
I base my thoughts on the fact that have seem my uterus, i have seen something inside of me go from nothing to something, i have witnessed the true beginning of a life, then seen it grow. So i know what happens, i know that there is a life with a beating heart... That and what i have been through, that makes it all too real for me.
I do though accept that for some people, a life is not a life as early as i believe. I have to accept that for some people a life is not thought about as a life, but as something more scientific, or maybe not even contemplated, so i am asking you...
When is a life a life?
