So your view is dependent on your spiritual belief then? Mine isn't. Mine is an independent position that allows for ERROR on my part as to when the soul enters the body. That is the key you're missing. In affecting other peoples lives, you have to allow for an error in your own position. Medically, life starts at fetilisation, and kicks in a new stage once it clings to the uteral wall. If an when there is a soul is irrelevent.

You on the other hand, are playing a gamble that your own spiritual beliefs are right, and determining ANOTHERS life based on your own view.

Interesting.
