Sam,
<< And so you will know, I will maintain that the fetus does not become a
living soul until it enters with the first breath. >>

I was amused by this concept of life you posted. On a biological level the baby starts getting oxygen through the mother almost from conception. You say that because the baby starts to get oxygen through it's own lungs it is now "life" but are we to assume that while the baby is breathing through it's mother it is not "life"!? That argument has no sound logic that I can see. There is no physiological difference after birth that further defines life. The method of breathing did not change the baby in any significant way that would logically point to "life" that was not present before the birth. You think that the child becomes a living soul upon birth and not before? Does the "soul vendor" pass out the souls when they pop out and take the first breath? Where is the proof of that? Just some curious questions, hope you don't mind.
