Default Re: Horror Scenario: Babies without souls

I would start by deciding what a soul does for you in your setting

Is the soul what provides sentience?

Is it what allows empathy?

I think it would be perfectly valid to say that all a soul does is allow some part of you to outlive your physical form, and without it, you simply end at death.
