If some days we have clones of ourselves, and they are exactly like us, with emotions, passion, feeling, senses and all that stuff... should they be allowed to be used as lab rats and do you think they would have souls? Think of it this way... what if you were created to be a clone... how would you feel to be a lab rat? Since you have the mind to think that and feel what they do to you...

what is the point of this question??? If they are full human beings, then they have full human rights.
however, that doesn't address the question of will it be ok to clone ourselves. Right now if you clone yourself, your clone is as old as you are on the cellular level. So, assuming you are not a rich kid--that you made your own money, by the time you have enough money to make a clone of yourself, you might be in you 30s and your clone would also be that old at the cellular level.
Why would you make a human being just to rob them of their youth??? You can't make a full human clone for parts-that's unethical and would be outlawed. You could make petri dish clones of cells that would make a spare part for yourself and that would be OK since it would just be a part, not afull human being.

Do you know what a "clone" is? It is not a duplicate. "Clone" is a medical and scientific term that refers to a certain process of using the genetic material of a donor to create a new being.
A "clone" by definition is not "exactly" like you. A clone is a new being produced from the genetic material of a donor. But since each of us is so much more than only our genetic material, a clone would never be "exactly" like its donor.
If you are refering to the possibility someday of creating a being "exactly" like its donor, some process other than cloning would be needed, a process not yet invented. Why don't you wait until that process is invented and ask your question again?

I don't think clones are the absolute match... I think they may have the same genetic makeup and maybe even look the same. But I don't think their emotions, personality, feelings would be the same. because our upbringing and environment account for a lot of that. I think I would be a different person if my parents had stayed together rather than them getting divorced when I was 9. While I wouldn't change anything, I think it made me the person I am today.

confident, in some strategies i assume, many might disagree. I refuse to have faith issues that the church has been coaching for years, such using fact the view "have self belief or burn" thought. And over the years, i've got grow to be much less and much less Christian, a minimum of what maximum human beings might define as a Christian. I refuse to completely settle for some thing with out looking into different issues. I relish examining different religions and observing what non secular paths others take. My determination replaced into to desert the assumption of fearing God lots, which were very undesirable for me. yet i don't experience I ought to ever view myself as extra valuable than others for believing what i think, and being biased has been a difficulty. i'm nevertheless looking however. Bonus: this might describe me. Universalist Christian, agnostic theist, and that i've got leanings in the direction of different issues, exceedingly Buddhism.

With a question like that you have to read NEVER LET ME GO by Kazuo Ishiguro. It is an awesome book about that very thing! Ishiguro also wrote REMAINS OF THE DAY.
It's a about a future where there are clones and they are cultivated for their organs...It's a really relatable book...and a great read!
