Did You Know ?

Did You Know ?

In the fourth week, the embryonic heart starts beating. The neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, forms. At this point, a woman has likely only been aware of her pregnancy for one week.

Did You Know ?

In the seventh week after conception, networks of neurons produce brain waves that have been recorded as early as 6 ½ weeks after conception. The embryo spontaneously moves his arms, hands, and legs, and may even hiccup. The embryo’s heart now has all four chambers.

Did You Know ?

By the seventeenth and eighteenth week after gestation, the fetus shows a clear response to pain in multiple studies, and at least one brain pathway is mature enough to create a perception of pain. The fetus also practices breathing, crying, and breastfeeding in the womb. The fetal heart has beat over 20 million times and circulates about 55 quarts of blood per day.

Did You Know ?

In the eighth month of pregnancy the fetal brain is ready to learn! At 32 weeks after conception, neurons are creating 40,000 new connections, called synapses, every second! With repeated exposures, the fetus can learn flavors, nursery rhymes, songs, and even words that she will recognize after birth!

Paul Wagle serves as a Clinical Ethicist whose dedication to promoting human dignity is rooted in personal and familial experiences with life-and-death illnesses. He believes that fostering empathy and understanding diverse perspectives is essential to advancing meaningful progress in ethics.

Paul earned a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and Philosophy and a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Benedictine College, a Master of Arts in Philosophy from Mount Saint Mary’s University, and a Master of Healthcare Administration from Capella University. This interdisciplinary foundation enables him to navigate complex bioethical dilemmas and guide leaders through morally challenging decisions.

With a strong background in ethics and healthcare, Paul has consulted on medical ethics, stem cell research, artificial intelligence ethics, research ethics, and advocacy program development. He partners with leaders facing complex challenges to design and implement frameworks that foster ethically attuned decision-making while balancing competing values in practice and policy.

In addition to his work with the Charlotte Lozier Institute, Paul is a founding board member of the Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center and has served on multiple healthcare-related boards and Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). Outside of his professional work, Paul can be found reading, writing essays on ethics and morality, or on the tennis court battling for points against his wife, Jess—who usually wins.
