Why wouldn't I agree? The spirit is not supernatural, it's a form of energy.

You need a brain to live. Surgeons can keep your heart going, but not your brain, once its dead, khalas, finito, astala vista, you cease to function.

Your heart is still going so you're still not dead.

So, doesnt it strike you as plausible, that if abortion should be permitted it should be applicable before the brain forms, the organ responsible for breathing life into the baby. If the exemption of a brain is required to declare death, isnt the existence of a brain necessary to declare life?

If other organs are alive, then no.
