"According to your view fully formed children do not have souls either. Does that mean it is alright for their parents to kill them?" Please try to limit the absurdity of your commentary. Sane and rational people do not value or devalue one another because they think they may or may not have a "soul" based on whether or what church they attend. Rational people value one another for their humanity. Children have hopes and dreams. They have character and personality. They have thoughts, opinions, and feelings. And, of course, they add value to their group--the family and the community and the human species. Fertilized eggs have none of these things and they are not lovable for any characteristics whatsoever. They were just as potentially human when they were the wind and the rain and the breakfasts that turned into eggs and sperm as they are potentially human AS egg and sperm. They are just further along the path as a fertilized egg. Having human "building blocks" does not make a human being. Everything in the universe is a human "building block" just as they are building blocks for aardvarks and oak trees.
