There are several collateral questions that need to be considered before one
can answer this one. First, is there any such thing as a soul? Is the soul
a seperate component, an intangible aspect, of human beings? Is there a
heaven? Theologians have incredibly complex theories about human life and
philosophical positions on just about everything. I've heard it said that
upon the assumption of life (which itself is a matter of debate) the human
embryo gains its soul, others claim different times. Additionally are there
a finite number of souls in existence? Are new ones created as are needed?
Are people reincarnated? Too many philosophical conundrums to give a single
simple answer to the question, at least IMO.
