Hello All,
Just a suggestion: How about the traditional view, that the huamn
soul is fully formed upon conception and therefore, the conceptus is
a fully human person?

Burgy,
How about an "immature soul"? That makes the soul a
developing dimension of
human beings, reaching full maturity perhaps sometime in
early adolescence,
or at the age of accountability, as some of us old timers called it.
Just speculating.
