muslims actually invented condoms of goat gut.

The Chinese later improved it by taking the gut out of the goat.

Projecting life and soul onto/into lifeless things is nearly as old as creation. I do not see much good coming of this, since both life and soul are God’s to create and sustain, while we are enjoined to love both God and man as opposed to idols. This age, as every age, is inclined to cheapen life.
