All we can say for sure is that if a living human being requires some sort of spirit or essence or katra or whatever you call it then at some point prior to a live birth such an entity must enter or become associated with the unborn child. IIRC there are some religions which believe that the baby acquires a spirit or whatever they call it when s/he takes his/her first breath outside the womb. We can say this for sure? How about humans like all other animals are pure meat. What we call the soul and what early people called elan vitale or soul or mind or the little version of me who sits inside my head at a really big control board with switches and buttons (like "stomach") and by the way has to have an even smaller version of me inside its head and so forth and so on all the way down to the infinitely small) is just the actions of a human brain experiencing itself. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
