    Our soul/spirit formed when we were in wombs. It's almost a scientific fact that a child in womb can already receive education one way or another. [/QUOTE]

    I don't think there is any such thing as an " almost" fact.

    Human life, physical and spiritual, does not begin "in the womb", at birth or at conception.
    Human life is continued through conceptions, wombs and births.
    Human life, physical or spiritual, is not something from nothing or life from death.

    As to when we attain to personhood having intellect, emotion and volition is another subject. We are human and never not human throughout. Here's the implication. Murder is not the unjust killing of a person; it's the unjust killing of a human being.

    It can be well argued that there are non-human persons. There are animals with intellect, emotion and volition.
    Killing non-human persons is not murder. Kill a human being is weather or not that human being is a person yet or no longer a person.

    None of that has anything to do with my post.
