¿Cuándo entra el alma al cuerpo?

Resumen

In this article I contrast the two traditional theories about the moment of the animation of the body, which serve as justification for the permissiveness of abortion. I analyze some of the metaphysical commitments of the idea of the soul and present some objections to the metaphysical framework that supports it. Although it is not possible to prove or disprove the existence of the soul, by an inference to the best explanation we should reject the idea and, therefore, claim that the soul does not enter the body at any time.
