A New Wave Dialectic1 the Reinvention of Human Embryology
In 1973 Roe v. Wade was adjudicated by the Supreme Court. This landmark decision proved to be the watershed between science and the law. Statements made within the decision, and since, concerning human development, have been disingenuous, irresponsible or deliberately deceitful. One would like to believe that Supreme Court Justices, acting as learned and wise servants of our society, exercise great and considerate care in making decisions that not only affect our daily lives, but impact the evolution of our culture in the most moral and responsible way. We also want to believe they seek out all available facts concerning a case before coming to decisions. Alas, such is not the case.
