direstraits posted:Scientists and doctors agree that at the early stages of development, there is no brain with a working nervous system. Theologians tend to believe the brain is the seat of the soul. Without a working brain, I see nowhere for a soul to dwell. That is why I'm not against methods of preventing pregnancy or early development. The six months limit is more legalistic. I doubt that the courts would agree to limit below that because of existing SCOTUS decisions.
Way to many people walking around that were born at 6 months or less and are perfectly normal and healthy.
