Three Ted Talks on Fetal Development that Help Build the Prolife Case

Most academics are aware of TED talks – a global initiative to make short (18 minutes or less) speeches on important and interesting topics available for free via the worldwide web.   This can be a great resource for academics who want to introduce videos into their teaching.  Annie Murphy Paul: What we learn before we’re born Tyrone Hayes + Penelope Jagessar Chaffer: The toxic baby?  and Alexander Tsiaras: Conception to birth — visualized.  I have used the last video by Alexander Tsiaras often and with great effect to help make the case that the unborn child is fully human.
