All we can say for sure is that if a
living human being requires some sort of spirit
or essence or katra or whatever you call it then
at some point prior to a live birth such an
entity must enter or become associated with the
unborn child. IIRC there are some religions
which believe that the baby acquires a spirit or
whatever they call it when s/he takes his/her first breath outside the womb.
We can say this for sure? How about humans like all other animals are pure
meat. What we call the soul and what early people called elan vitale
or soul or
mind or the little version of me who sits inside my head at a really big
control board with switches and buttons (like "stomach") and by the
way has to
have an even smaller version of me inside its head and so forth and
so on all
the way down to the infinitely small) is just the actions of a human brain
experiencing itself.
