What has been said is given as advice. The following is extracted from a letter sent to a person questioning the authentication for religious belief concerning when the soul and the spirit are united with the human body. The truth is that it is not. The following facts make this clear. The New Testament condemns the killing of innocent human beings.

It would have been only the full spiritual personhood of Jesus that was recognized, not just the body of what someday would be Jesus. If Jesus had not already been fully present in Mary's womb, Elizabeth would not have asked the question in this manner. Medical science has now proven that from the moment of conception the fullness of human life is present. There are born children living today conceived in a test tube and implanted in a surrogate mother. The surrogate mother from that point on furnishes the child with nourishment, warmth and shelter.
