Another foray into into the realm of belief to answer this question....

Soul power!!! Merely existing "earned" me this life. I owe my very existence to the creative yearning of the universe. [img]smile.gif[/img]
[/QUOTE]??? I think you're missing the point somewhat. Earn implies previous action. I am also speaking about your physical being, not your soul. A sucicider is not chosing to destroy their soul, but to end their physical existence. As such, my question, is regarding the physical being.

The point being, without the choices and actions of your parents you would not exist in your current physical manifestation. Without others feeding you and providing you with shelter and protection, you would have died within hours out of the womb.
