OB, of course I don't know for sure and neither do you, only God holds the true answer to that question. I will never believe that a clump of cells has a soul, that's my belief but to say I know for sure, well that's just impossible.
But OK, say that twins have two souls..What I'd like to know is whether
parasitic twins have two souls and if they do, is it considered murder to surgically remove a parasitic twin.
A parasitic twin is where a zygote started to split into twins, but then fused back together again. One of the twins develops to have a complete anatomy, but the parasitic twin is mostly absorbed into the other twin's body, so that it only shows up as an extra foot sticking out of their shoulder, or sometimes as part of an arm or a head. And if a parasitic twin has a soul then is it considered murder to surgically remove a parasitic twin?
And if a parasitic twin does not have a soul then why not if the other one has had a soul since conception?
