    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.
