Yes, they have a free will and choice as anybody does and once they exist, even though they were not natural, God still loves them like He would love anyone else.

Yes. I did a research paper about cloning and a clone is a real human being with a real soul. Basically having a clone is just like having a twin. The only difference is a clone is younger instead of the same age. If you believe twins have different souls then you can belief clones do as well.

We dont even know if regular people have souls that can go to heaven or hell. But if they do, I would assume cloned people would too. It's basically the same thing as a twin, just younger than the original. A twin starts off as one embryo and splits in two... more or less the same thing w/ cloning. One person becomes two. Same DNA... blah blah. Now if you're going to throw that "God's plan" argument into this, then you could argue that it wasn't God's plan to fertilize eggs in a petri dish, but it happens all the time and no one wonders if those children have souls. They are no different than anyone else, and neither would clones be.

Most likely, a cloned person would have a soul just as anyone else would. If they didn't have a soul, then it wouldn't have anything to go to heaven or hell, because those are places for souls to go when the body has died.

Man is a soul, he does not have one. We do not have a spiritual part that lives on after death. That is one of the false doctrines which is not in the Bible, but has been a common misconception of many religions. This does not mean that we have no hope, but that is a whole nother subject.

Genesis 2:7: " And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul."

Ecclesiastes 3:19: "For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust. "

Ecclesiastes 9: 5 & 10: "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.
10 All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She´ol, the place to which you are going.

Ezekiel 18:4b: "The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.'

very good question.i had never thought of that before. but i don't think so. if it were created in a lab then it only stands to reason that is was not created by god.(and before anyone has a fit, this is different than ivf). so it would not have a soul. i don' know where it would go without a soul. cloning is a scarey idea anyway.

I congratulate you for asking a thought provoking question. I don't think a cloned person will have a soul and therefore he won't go to either heaver or hell. He will though create heaven for himself and hell for others here on this planet itself.

I believe that they would. I believe the soul is part of consciousness. If twins have separate souls, in vitro children have souls, and children that are resuscitated after birth have souls, why would a clone not have one.

I'd think it would be like identical twins, basically the same person with two separate souls.
