That is something we know for a fact medically.

If we can't detect when the soul is formed how do we know it is human and God's creation? Maybe God intended the soulless shell to be aborted/removed? If it does have a formed soul it would be going straight to heaven which wouldn't be a bad thing either.

Maybe we should let this remain a personal matter between mother's and their God (or lack of God) and not limit people's personal freedom. (and by maybe I mean listen up dumbass )

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

excuse me but just because im fifteen years old doesnt mean that i am blinded to what truly goes on in this sick, cruel, unacknowledged dislibritated world. I have stronger opinions than most 20 year olds about these sorts of things and just because im small doesnt mean i have no voice.

We know it is human by the DNA. Do you disagree with that?

I'm sorry Tia. I forgot when you introduced yourself a while back and thought a stranger was just passing through.

Please stick around and voice your opinion!

As much as a strand of hair. Yes.
But at what stage of development does the soul form?

That is a really good question... is there any way to know when scientifically?

Well, depends on your definition of soul. If it is conscience, then perhaps it can be answered scientifically. But if it is the religious soul, then obviously that's soley based on faith and of coarse religion; and we shouldn't be making a law based on religion.

Like it or not, laws began with religion....you know, the 10 C's? If not for those, there would be nothing but anarchy.

Why shouldn't laws be based on religion? Because there are a few hypocrits who maintain that the "religious right" are "cramming their beliefs down their collective throats" but cannot for their life see the irony that that is exactly what they are doing? cramming their beliefs down the throats of the majority. You'll really have something to complain about if and when fundamental Islam gets their foot through our front door.
