If one person is cloned many many times then do the clones each get their own soul or do they get a little bit of the original's soul? Does the original person grow back the missing pieces and the clones grow a full soul from their little piece?

Actually I love Ghost in the Machine. The second one was gorgeous on the big screen.

Ebon Musings...no I'm not athiest. I'm not christian either, though. I have a blended view. I don't think cloning is evil. I believe deeply in science and read science mags all the time. But I am also spiritual and I do believe in a soul.

Well when you clone, the cloned offspring starts as a glob of cells just as a naturally reproduced baby would. I would assume the same mechanism of soul insertion applies, regardless of how the being is created or where it grows, prenatally. I mean, we don't assume that embryos that have been created in a petri dish and then inserted into a uterus don't have souls, do we? Same deal really.

Souls don't exist. Cloning doesn't make an exact copy of you either. It's pretty much just making a baby with the exact same genetics as yourself. It would most likely look very much like you as it ages however other factors come into play as it develops in the surrogate.
Also, you're life experiences are not copied to the clone, it's a brand new person who will develop in a different environment from the one in which you grew up. Due to this personality would differ to some degree.

Google Ebon's Musings and read his essay "The Ghost in the Machine".
You'll get an excelletn answer, but something tells me you won't like it.

A cloned person gets two perfect soles. Just like the first two. They fit perfectly into a pair of Birkenstocks. If you roll that way.

It doesnt. thats why the Church is so against cloning....
Souls do not exist. They are fabricated entities. The entire concept was designed so as to ease your passing and make death a more pleasant experience.

It doesn't. There will never be a successful clone! God will not allow a full term clone that lives because God has not created that living soul.

Twins are genetically the same & both have individual souls, so --
