NO - they are not the same.
A fetus is a parasite. It lives off its host.
A new born baby is independent of the mother. The mother is not required for the baby to live.
The only parasites are people like you...
PARASITE: Biology: An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.

You seemed to claim that the fetus/baby must be able to breathe by itself to have a spirit, and there are children and people who can't breathe by themselves and need some sort of breathing apparatus to help them... I guess they lost their spirit if we follow your line of reasoning... How is that not a valid argument?...

Society can be seen as an organism, it is composed of many living people... And there are those who feed off the rest of the people... So they must be "parasites" to your kind...

Purple is presenting a different interpretation.
Below is an interpretation of man's writings. But it is interpreted from the perception we are Energy Beings - - not of the physical - - but experiencing the physical.
Point being - - - physical is not sentient without the Energy Consciousness (soul) which must choose when it enter the physical host. Human is not sentient until first breath.

A fetus gets oxygen through the amniotic fluid, so a fetus does breathe, althou differently than we do after we are born... Again, there are many people that since they were born need some sort of breathing apparatus to help them breathe... AGAIN, are they not human, or have a spirit according to you?...

The Energy Consciousness can choose to enter at conception or after birth. The physical is not sentient until the Energy Consciousness enters/joins with the physical.

The Energy Consciousness can choose to enter at conception or after birth. The physical is not sentient until the Energy Consciousness enters/joins with the physical.
Termination of the physical in no way affects or harms the Energy Consciousness - - which is eternal.

Really?... And you know this how exactly?... Because some book, or person told you so?... As above, so below, just like electrons exist in both energy/wave and matter duality state at the same time, logic would dictate that the soul/spirit attaches itself as life begins for the fetus.

Hilarious watching people take the bible as factual history.

I am trying to get this straight from your post.
So, if the soul can enter at conception or after birth, doesn't that make abortion murder? Since you have no knowledge of when the soul enters the physical host? Since the host is physical, then it's a human life.

I've had experiences since birth (or at least first memory) - - such as OBEs - - premonitions - - etc. I would say I know there is something other then physical because of my experiences. Not because man taught me to believe a certain way.
