Is it the soul or is it those who provide the physical setting for the soul. If the onus is on the soul, then one might conclude that if it does not make it to the moment of the body's birth, it is its own fault for having made errors in navigation from one dimension to another. If the responsibility is on the parents for opening the door for and nurturing the soulthrough physical development until birth, could one then accuse them of blocking the path of soul by not having intercourse in the first place? Let theologians of various religions duke that one out.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235500018166572992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386878475388400307.post-6725751583744509782009-03-01T16:56:00.000-08:002009-03-01T16:56:00.000-08:00in islam, the human soul is blown into the embryo ...in islam, the human soul is blown into the embryo after 40 days...incidentally, this number is when the fetus takes on its sex and other defining attributes. so its not the shape of the body for me, but whether it has been endowed with a human soul....so 40 days is my cut-off :)...furthermore a group of cells that is in the process of forming a living breathing human being--i think its unfair to compare it to an egg or a seed, its the potential that makes it so valuableart bingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885888276593010322noreply@blogger.com
