Ensoulment refers to the creation of a soul within, or the placing of a soul into, a human being. It is a concept most often discussed in reference to abortion, because some theologians have believed that souls are newly created within a developing baby, while some believe that souls were created before time and are added to babies while the body develops.

When does ensoulment take place?

Different religions and belief systems have varying beliefs about when ensoulment takes place.

How did St. Thomas Aquinas derive his theory of the ensoulment of a man in 40 days and a female body in 80?

St. Thomas Aquinas derived his theory of ensoulment based on the teachings of Aristotle and the biological knowledge of his time. He believed that a male fetus received a soul 40 days after conception because he considered male development to be faster, while he posited that a female fetus received a soul 80 days after conception due to what he perceived as the slower nature of female development.
