时间已经不多了。在英国政府于 1990-1991 年推出其承诺的立法之前，诺曼·福特的论点和结论必须得到吸收，这对于议会辩论的公正性以及胚胎研究的正确进行和监管至关重要。福特神父是澳大利亚墨尔本天主教神学院的院长。他不仅精通适合其专业的哲学和神学学科，而且精通艾伦·特劳森（Alan Trounson）和罗杰·肖特（Roger Short）（特别是在墨尔本）以及其他地方同等杰出的生物学家为他提供的最新胚胎学研究。这产生了将哲学分析应用于科学数据的示范性练习：通过消除论证，得出清晰且站得住脚的结论。结论是：“人类个体开始于原始状态阶段，但不是在此之前。”之所以如此，是因为在原始条纹形成之前，一个真正的人类个体的存在条件，即一个具有真正人性的持续存在的本体论个体，并没有得到满足。”（第173页）。“从那时起，我开始成为我：被赋予理性的灵魂或生命原则，这使得人体从那个阶段直到死亡都是同一个个体”（第175页）。
There is little time to lose. It is essential for the integrity of parliamentary debate and for the right conduct and regulation of embryo research that Norman Ford's argument and conclusion be assimilated before the British Government introduces its promised legislation in 1990-1991. Fr Ford is Master of the Catholic Theological College in Melbourne, Australia. He is master also, not only of the disciplines of philosophy and theology proper to his profession, but also of the most up-todate studies in embryology available to him through Alan Trounson and Roger Short, in particular, in Melbourne, and other biologists of comparable eminence elsewhere. There results an exemplary exercise in the application of philosophical analysis to scientific data: an argument progressing byelimination to a clear and defensible conclusion. The conclusion is that'the human individual begins at the primitive streak stage, but not before it. This is so because the conditions for the presence of an actual human individual, in the sense of an on-going living ontological individual with a true human nature, are not satisfied prior to the formation of the primitive streak'(p 173).'That is when I began being me: ensouled with a rational soul or life principle, which makes the human body be the same individual from that stage until death'(p 175).
