That's God's choice. But does it mean it's OK to kill the elderly?

No as, again, it would be a violation of that person's right to life. As I said in a subsequent post, my point was that not "every" union of a sperm and an egg is a "person".

If you believe in God, do you think a soul is "assigned" to someone at the moment of conception? If not when?

Every baby is a person. And that is clearly a baby in the womb.

I suppose that's where we disagree.

What business does a woman have claiming her baby is her body when it doesn't even have the same DNA? It's not her body. She had a complete body beforehand. The claim that a unique individual, no matter how reliant on the mother's whims is merely a part of a mother's body is ludicrous.

A crawling infant is no less dependant on the mother than a fetus. That doesn't make them the same individual, nor does it justify infanticide.
