I meant that not all embryos are full humans. Many are not ever going to make it. They cannot. Now if you conceive one of these, with an aneuploid egg, and you believe that stopping an embryo as it attempts to grow is always murder, you would have to call a miscarriage murder. It was a stretch. But it was my point. Most embryos are only potential lives.

Now this is beyond my expertise: does an embryo which can by its makeup only survive for two weeks, and its parents never knew it existed briefly in the fallopian tube, have a soul?

Honestly, I think that you might want to look at how MISCARRIAGE is defined.

“does an embryo which can by its makeup only survive for two weeks, and its parents never knew it existed briefly in the fallopian tube, have a soul?”

Does a 2 year old, who can only survive for two weeks, because of _______________, have a soul?

Regarding a “brief existence,” you might be interested to read this: “Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back” by Todd Burpo. This child described meeting his sibling in heaven...who had earlier been miscarried. His parents had never told him about this.
