There are several points in the Bible (OT and NT) where reference is made to body, soul, and spirit. In a recent Catholic homily, the Priest refers to the soul wrapping the body, not the body wrapping the soul. This leads me to understand that it is the soul (and spirit) that is not locked in time and space, but the body clearly is.
I've attempted, with the entire series of essays, to approach the realities of the organism from a biological perspective, avoiding the religious aspects as best I can. The series is offered for folks already pro-life to one extent or another, in an effort to give substantial reason why current biological understandings underpin the pro-life position. In subsequent essays, the notions of legal positions (abortion laws, the Roe, Doe and Casey decision, embryonic stem cell proscriptions, cloning regulations) will also be addressed but the addresses of same underpinned with the biological realities.
