How India Reconciles Hindu Values and Biotech

So for this blog post I read the article from the New York Times, and it showed the people who follow the Hindu religion believe the life begins at conception. In their religion they believe that fetuses can hear and understand everything that is going on around them. I think that it is very interesting that they believe a story that has been told about Arjuna and he told his wife about his seven stage military plan while she was listening to everything the fetus was also listening to the story, the sad part is when the mother falls asleep during the 7th and final stage to his plan, so when the child was older he was in battle and didn't know that last stage in battle and dies. I thin that the Hindu Religion is very interesting to learn about because it is like Christianity but also so different.
