Mick, what do YOU believe?
If I were looking at this from a religious perspective, it would be a hard thing to think about miscarried and spontaneously aborted fetuses all having souls. It would be hard to believe something that couldn't think, couldn't make decisions about right and wrong, had a soul. It's even more difficult for me to imagine a group of cells with no brain might have a soul, which, even if it were implanted might not grow into a fetus. Has there been a soul for every single fertilized human egg there ever was, for all time? If you believe there has been, then what about sperm and eggs, because, even with an un-implanted, days-old embryo, you'd need a lot of un-met conditions to be met. This is all about possible babies, and a single cell just needs one more teeny criterium be met - only one, in a whole load of criteria.
