Potential of Life vid

Check out this vid promoting the March for Life in Spain. The vid is effective in showing the continuity of life from conception on. The vid shows life in the womb and the events that take place at certain weeks such as the heart beats, the hands are formed, and etc... then moves on to show how at 1,100 weeks individuals such as Mother Teresa have changed the world. This vid is beautifully done and includes English subtitles.

My only quibble is that it shows successful people are certain stages of life. It leaves out the potential for those who are almost certainly destined not to make achievements at that level, the severely handicapped, for example. Sarah Palin's son Trig in all likelihood will never achieve greatness or change the world in a spectacular way. However, he, too, deserves life and our support for children such as these are truly the least of us. They, too, change the world by their very presence.
