Of course you know more than me about this, but if I may challenge you, that means that abortions are okay, as the soul does not exist until the fetus develops also, the Granth Sahib talks about how we go through all of the roughly 8.4 million species, which would therefore include protozoa and bacteria

To my knowledge, everything has a soul, does this mean that all of our 100 trillion cells also have souls? What about bacteria? Also, the main question, when does the soul 'come to existence', for example, when a child is conceived and the two gametes fuse to form a zygote. Is that when the soul is 'transferred'. Or when the cells are dividing? Or maybe it's when the heart starts beating. Sorry for my poor choice of words, I have no idea how to properly communicate this.
