    This issue is bazaar under "health."  It's a philosophical and religious concept.

    I'm intrigued. It goes beyond religion, I think.

    Maybe there is some way we could weave in the focus on health/biology? But also, there is something so beautiful about the simplicity of the question. Whats the next step?

    Well, I'm sold. I'm okay with this issue here. Now it's just a question of the wording, which I don't have any major objections to, but about which I am curious what others will say.

    Yeah, you might be right. But when I thought of it, I was thinking about it from a health standpoint. As in... what is a soul? How does it relate to your body in the most scientific terms possible? I think it goes without saying that religious people think humans have souls... I"m more curious about what everyone else thinks, or perhaps, what a good interpretation of it could be.

    I'm fine with this issue, but I question the placement. I realize this topic is "questions of life," but does this really belong under "Health?" This is more of a religious/spiritual question.

    I think so, I'm pretty sure Jews, Muslims, and Hare Krishnas believe in souls, also, I think there are athiests who believe in souls... personally, I think the sum of your neural patterns could be considered a soul.

    I am curious as to how people will define "a soul"... did anyone ever see 21 Grams?

    i wish we could ask "what is a soul"  but i think it calls for too subjective an answer.  i think i'm okay with this provided it's not an athiest v. religious person question.  do religions other than christians buy into the whole soul thing?
