Fact is, comatose women have been kept on life-support so that they could bring their fetus to term (http://www.medicaldaily.com/life-support...aby-389238, http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/04/br...33381.html, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Torres).


In this case it needed even more minds Doctors Nurses etc

You'll need to demonstrate that need. Simply repeating it is not demonstration.

The Mind cannot be an emergent property. My reasons are given on this thread

A more detail account on

and

The evidence very strongly suggests that your mind is an emergent property of the way in which your brain functions. We have mapped different areas of our brains to how we process sights, sounds, physical sensations, we have isolated areas which generate feelings and we have figured out which parts control different autonomic functions, how we store memories, do calculations process linguistic inputs and many other intellectual ideas.

You whining that your religion tells you otherwise changes nothing about the fact that the preponderance of evidence says you are badly wrong.
