In Aboriginal Australian society the spirit of the child is believed already to exist prior to conception, and is associated in the spiritual realm--the Dreamtime--with a particular place in the sacred landscape. Robert Lawlor, author of Voices of the First Day:Awakening in the Aboriginal Dreamtime, writes: "To the Aboriginal mind, the modern explanation of conception as the collision of a tiny sperm and egg is absurd. In their view, sperm may prepare the way for the entry of the child into the womb, but the spirit of the child appears in the father's dreams or inner awareness before conception." Aboriginal women consider their role in childbirth as that of providing a temporary haven for a being with its own pre-existing spiritual identity, and believe that the spirit does not fully enter into the fetus it has reached a certain stage of development--roughly ten weeks after conception.

Это, я так понимаю, для того, что бы оправдать аборты?
