Question

baaaaahahahahah

A clone would be a younger twin dim wits!!!!!

then what the heck is a clone damn it? tell me?

damn it i gotta go to class, see you in hell!

Answer 1

no soul-and yes an identical twin is a naturally occurring clone-what nature does man would try to make illegal-funny isnt it--smile and enjoy the day

Answer 2

Interesting question. Are you a twin having a dispute with your sibling twin? When a fertilized egg splits, it forms two seperate embryos. One embryo is not older than the other at that point. Which twin is "older" is generally determined by birth order (who comes out first). A clone (as we commonly think if it) is grown from cells taken from a fully formed organism. So no, a twin is not really a clone. It's a different process entirely.

Does each twin have a seperate soul? In my opinion, yes, of course. But do Siamese twins have seperate souls? Do twins that are absorbed and that continue to grow inside the other twin have a soul? Are they damaging that soul when they're seperated? I know twins have a bond and can feel pain when the other is hurt, even miles away, so I wonder. I think every living sentient being has a soul of some sort, even clones. Sorry for answering your question with more questions but it's fun to think about...

Answer 3

I've had recent discussions along these lines in another forum. My belief is that the soul diffuses into the body as it develops. There is never a discrete point in which a fully developed soul enters the developing body. I don't claim to understand it all, but I'm convinced that the soul is made of some stuff other than matter and energy. It is intimately bound together with every particle of the body. When the body expires (dies) the soul leaves intact.

so when a fertilized egg splits or a person is cloned or whatever, the original soul is intact. A newly developing body attracts the makings of a new soul. Just as a single fertilized egg or a mass of undiffentiated cells is not a whole person, the soul develops likewise.

Answer 4

This is a hard query for the ones philosophers and ethicists in the market. I do not consider that there's a actual reply in the market but, on account that nobody has cloned a human but. Many religions could be nulled if a cloned human had a sould (equivalent to Catholicism which states that a guy and girl have to create a little one to ensure that the character to have a soul)

Answer 5

A clone, or twins would still have a soul. The fact that you exist gives you a soul..

Answer 6

I head from a scholar of Islam many times saying when pregnancy completes 4 months, then God implants soul in the fetus that is in the mohter's womb.

We have no knowledge whether God will put soul in human clone in Laboratory.

Soul is heavely because it always comes from God.

Answer 7

Only 1/2 of a soul.

Answer 8

There is no clone, both sides are half the egg, neither is greater or lesser, unless the egg doesn't divide correctly in which there are Siamese twins.

Answer 9

I can't state with any amount of certainty that either have a soul. I've never experienced a soul, and I've never seen evidence for one. The odds are very high that there is no soul in either, however, simply because the absence of evidence is easily recognizable as evidence to the contrary.

Upon your first moral choice (Avg 5 years of age) an individual begins to mold their own personality. A shard of the whole. As this happens after birth the origins of said persons are irrelevant.
