I just heard about this story and came to FR to see if it was posted already and sure enough it was.
About your question here: at best, the reaction visualized in this experiment could indeed be a signal as to when the soul is (normally) infused into the baby, however no chemical reaction, no physical process produces the soul. Each soul is created, ex nihilo, by God. There is no physical process that makes it. Each individual human soul is the product of the same creative force that created the universe, God's Will (His Love really), an infinite power that can (and does every instant) create something out of nothing.
What the atheistic evolutionist would have us believe is that what makes us truly human is a product of some evolutionary process. I certainly believe "evolution" occurrs but only as a means by which God created (and creates) Man's physical form. The soul though didn't "evolve" every soul is created by God.
However to ask if this enzymatic reaction "produces" the soul is to reduce its creation to a chemical reaction, which plays right into the hands of the evolutionary atheist. The soul is spiritually real, not a product of anything in the physical realm. Its reality transcends the physical world (in that sense it can be said the soul is "more real" than anything produced or observed by science).
[[no chemical reaction, no physical process produces the soul.]]
No i know it doesn’t produce the soul- I wondered though if it might ‘signal’ the soul that life was about to happen, or even that a single process of life was taking place (not that it is life itself, but I also wondered if all that needs ot happen is a single process in order for God to create those who will never be born but get to enjoy eternity with Him anyways- it’s a wild thought- i nkow

Yes I see that i worded it wrong now- my explanation above is what I wondered-
