I Post Because I Care
I've been looking at fake pictures of the fetus on religious extremist sites and was wondering where I might find the above question in scripture?
And when does a pancake become a pancake? An egg and flour have the potential to become a pancake, but it's not really a pancake. When you add all the ingredients of flour, milk, and eggs, it's still not a pancake....it's only batter. It becomes a pancake when the cook decides it's cooked and ready.
To say a fetus is human, is the same as calling the batter a pancake.
Sperm has the potential of creating a human life. A hair has the potential of creating a human life, given potential cloning techniques.
(I'm just pointing out the silliness of this argument)
A potential baby becomes a baby when and if the mother decides it so....when the fetus can live on it's own, right around the neighborhood of 7 months of gestation.
"In Jewish law, although the human soul exists before birth, human life begins at birth, that is, at the time when the child is more than halfway emerged from the mother's body."
Judaism 101 Birth and the First Month of Life
In most of the God Squad's interpretation of god's powers and abilities he has already designed a "plan" so one could easily surmise and speculate that every person's soul was assigned even before sex...let alone when a person exited from the womb.
The "plan" is just as much nonsense as the evidence of a soul. Your soul is just your over hyper self awareness and a narcissistic view of your place in evolution.
