Well, not everyone who wants a child follows your particular religion or philosophy regarding embryonic life.

Unfortunately, that is true. But the scientific fact is that human life begins at conception. Everything that goes into making up what is a human being is present at that time and is allowed to develop normally will eventually become a human embryo, then a human fetus, then human baby, then a human child, and so on.

This has been known by scientists for a long time, but has been denied and ignored by vested interests like the abortion industry and their allies. If one merely follows the science, one does not have to adopt my religious or philosophical position. He simply needs to follow the facts where they lead him.

When does human consciousness begin? When do humans take on a ‘soul’?

The first is a matter of speculation - we don’t even know what consciousness really is or where it comes from. And the ‘soul’ itself is a religious belief - science won’t pronounce upon it.
