I know it's banned but if you could be cloned, would that clone be a totally seperate entity....?

Question

Would the clone have a seperate soul? or would it be a soulless extension of the donor person?

As it would be an exact copy of the donor in every detail, and has only one donor, where do you think the soul might come from? would it also be a duplicate piece of yours? And would the clone then be you too?

Answer 1

First, you are assuming that people actually have souls. The soul is a religous concept that has not ever been measured or identified. That doesn't mean that there is no such thing as a soul, or a human soul, only that there is no proof of a soul (given it isn't a physical object or measurable in anyway).

That aside, assuming we have souls, you'd have to figure out how they became associated with a human being.

One question to throw back: Are identical twins sharing a soul or do they have seperate souls? Assuming those identical twins are derived from the spliting of a fertilized egg, they are effectively clones of each other since they share identical genetic info. The difference is that with twins it happens in nature, whereas the cloning you are speaking of would be a human induced process.

Some other questions from this are: Do animals have souls? if so, do the cloned animals share a soul?

Until you find a way to measure "the soul" you will never know the answer to any of this outside of philisophical conjecture.

Answer 2

Clones got their genes from your genes. And if you are 100 years old when you clone yourself, your clone looks like it's about to die even though it was born not long ago. Soul has nothing to do with science, I prefer to know whether the clone shares your old memory. If it doesn't, then you can infer that in a non-science community it doesn't have a soul either ;-)

i do no longer see any reason it is going to be banned, if it enables the inhabitants as an entire, what's the situation. Why no longer provide those with incurable ailments of undertaking at a healthful existence and if thats a thank you to do then so be it. as some distance because of the fact the guy above who suggested it could have not have been given any spirit "how do you comprehend that" you do no longer and additionally you mustn't basically assume it would not. human beings go with to get all religious and issues yet you comprehend what God gave us the means to try this, then why ought to we no longer take great element approximately it. If a discern could have their toddler for purely one greater day because of the fact of a cloned individual's cells, do you think of they could particularly say no to that? NO Come on human beings, think of of somebody to boot yourselves.

Answer 4

cloning is rather simple you should read a couple of genetics books....if anny one wants me to clone them. I just need a womb and some white blood cells. ohh and a egg...maybe a little telomerase. and the enzymes the methlate the cells after sperm and egg meet. ...forgot the enzyme names sorry...only a few grand while supplies last and if you provide me with materials ill lower the price :-)

Answer 5

There is nothing significantly different between a clone and an identical twin except, perhaps, age. Of course it he/she will be a separate person! Why wouldn't they be???
