It's hard to believe, but at that moment it's determined exactly what sex the child will be, the color of his eyes, hair and skin, a tendency to high or low growth, general health and even disposition to certain diseases. It's just that people have not yet learned to determine all this at such an early stage, because we are still saying "the sacrament of conception." But all this in the future child already exists, it remains only to wait.
