I am merely following the logic of the argument as I understand it (which is difficult to understand given the word salad-y-ness of it). If one can say that it is possible that a soul/consciousness never fully enters into a human body then one can say that some human bodies lack a soul/consciousness. Therefore one can conclude that it is acceptable to kill such a human body at anytime, given that one has concluded that the soul/consciousness is not present in that human body. Or if I'm understanding correctly, it is acceptable to kill another human if the soul of that person has communicated in some way that it wishes to exit this plane of existence, whatever that means. My concern for well-being applies to all humans, regardless of age or ability.

Do we not already make that kind of decision that when it is established that someone is brain dead after a traumatic head injury? Or perhaps the decision is made by the family of a cancer patient who has been placed in an induced coma to alleviate suffering? I mean, I'm not saying we should be going around having abortions like a bunch of psychopaths, but for those with no other option, there should, be reasonable understanding and options available for mothers who cannot, for whatever reason, carry a baby to term.
