"Before the first breath, the fetus is only a potential human. After the last breath, the body is that of something that was human but it is no longer humman. The state of being human corresponds to the presence or absence of a soul."

More theological and philosophical nonsense.

That's odd there, how you can turn a non-human appendix into a human appendix just by having a non-human lung receive its first blast of non-amniotic oxygen. Is there something special about oxygen in the air that's different than the oxygen received in amniotic fluid or the umbilical cord? Do we need to revise our Periodic Table of Elements to account for this hitherto unknown non-oxygen oxygen?

If the non-human lungs receive the first breath of atmospheric air, how do the human lungs transfer the oxygen to non-human arteries to be distributed to non-human tissues in non-human blood cells? Do those non-human cells interact at some level that no one has ever known about? Do they say, "Here's some oxygen. Oh, by the way, you're human now. Pass it on."

Talk about outdated [im]morality....
