RU486 - are you for 86'ing?

Australia’s federal government is now recommending that the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme list the ‘morning after’ or RU 486 pill (Roussel-Uclaf.38486), making the 2 complimentary drugs – Mifepristone and Misoprostol, available to concessional patients for $5.90 each, otherwise for $36.10. 
Umm…that sounds very affordable for schoolgirls!              

Well girls, we don’t have to tell you what this quick fix will do to your baby - an embryo possibly with its own pulse already - nor is this a lecture about morality but please listen to the side effects before we try to explain how your 'inconvenience' occurred.

These drugs contain methotrexate which blocks progesterone to cause miscarriage. For you this can cause liver damage, kidney destruction, heart muscle damage, pulmonary failure, gastrointestinal pathology, bone marrow suppression, loss of speech, stroke, convulsions, or death. Potent stuff, huh!

In case you didn’t know, your body comprises living somatic cells made of inanimate chemicals and every cell came from another living cell - so how did the very first living cell happen?...supernaturally??                                                    

Now for what has been happening inside you…

Approximately 100 million immature sperm entered your vagina to undergo capacitation from your secretions. 
Can you see any co-operative design in that?                               

                                                      

After several hours one of these now mature sperm managed to find your ovum in one of the two fallopian tubes, penetrate the zona pellucida of your ovum and release enzymes to block the 99,999,999 other sperm.  

So how did the sperm know to do all that?                              

By the way, your immune system resists foreign intrusion but apparently learns to recognise the same visitor!  

Is there any message there?                                                         

Your body's cells all contain your genetic blueprint in 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes, made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and amino acids (protein)….except for the sex cells, which under meiosis split to form gamete cells with only 23 chromosomes.  

So how did they know to do this?                                                                

 

The sperm is also a gamete cell containing 23 chromosomes, which fertilized your ovum on Day 1 to become a zygote with 46 chromosomes - the beginning of a human embryo. On Day 2, cleavage by mitosis created 2 identical cells each with the full compliment of 46 chromosomes…a morula of totipotent cells.

2 cells clave into 4, then 4 into 8, which by Day 4 compacted to form a blastocyst in which the identical cells now started to differentiate to either remain stem cells or specialize as skin cells, hair cells, organs….                             How do they know how to do this?

Thanks to medical science we know what has happened to who, and when and why – BUT HOW ??....don’t expect answers from the medicos any time soon because they don’t seem to know, so let’s see who else has an invisible hand in this miracle:

If we take a look in your nanna’s ‘religious relic’- the family Bible that’s not supposed to be scientific – we find your embryo classically described in Job chapter 10, verses 8 to 12!

“Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about…..(9 month gestation)   

Hast thou not poured me out as milk (fertilization), and curdled me like cheese? (blastocyst to day 10)  

Thou has clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. (embryo to week 8)  

Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.” (quickening as foetus after week 8)                                                                                              

So whose work inside you will RU486 destroy?
