DOGMATIC THINKING

On Nov. 8 Mississippi voters will decide whether a fertilized egg is a person; a proposed amendment to the state constitution would define a person as every human being from the moment of fertilization.

The Torah and the Koran are adamant the human being comes into existence 41 days from the time of conception; before 41 days, according to the Talmud-Book of Law, the pregnancy is nothing. According to Jewish Law abortion only occurs after 41 days.

The rabbis in the Torah are extremely strict and they caution: stricter than the rabbis is too strict. According to the Cabala, The placenta is created in the first 40 days after conception from the egg and the sperm – the vehicle to pass along the DNA.

The soul, which is big as a sun in heaven is able to connect through, a thin ray of light, to the physical body; after the first 40 days, the remnants of the soul enters into the body – at that point, 41 days, the zygote turns into an embryo, according to doctors.

What is a human being and when does a human being become human has been debated since the beginning, but what could be more strident than considering conception a human being. This most invasive law goes against ancient knowledge and modern science – its just dogma.
