David, I am a common sense kind of person, rather than an intellectual. I don't do research. I just think something like this:
If Mary had aborted Jesus, would she have killed a Person or a non-Person? Therefore, I deduce that a preborn human being is a Person.

I think it is either sometime around 40 days after conception, or at birth when the first breath is taken. I do think there is some point when it happens. We need to do more research to determine when that is. Izzy wrote: > It's possibly possible. If so, why didn't > God tell us about it? There are a lot of things that God didn't tell us about. That's why we study, research questions. God gave us marvelous minds to learn things that we have not been told. Izzy, you aren't still in that moralizing stage of development where you only know what you've been told, are you? Have you ever explored a matter and learned something that nobody ever knew? Izzy wrote: > My soul is certainly still developing; does > that mean I'm not a Person yet? Maybe. :-) There is an idea in Scripture whereby your spirit might be saved but not your soul. Some say we need to endure to the end that our soul might be saved, if we give ourselves to holiness, etc. But that's a whole 'nother can of worms. The point is that when you have a fertilized ovum in a petri dish, is that the same thing as having a human person? What happens when the ova splits and develops into identical twins? Did their spirit / soul split as well? Are identical twins half persons? As you might know, I am an identical twin, so I think about these things. Kind of personal. :-) So are you against the idea of cloning? Peace be with you.
