The question I raised back when Dolly was rapidly aging, “Where did the soul or consciousness come from that entered as s Dolly?”
It appears that the biological clock unfolds as consciousness ages and develops. At the same time the telomeres get shorter.
If a deceased animal’s soul entered the cloned animal, would the new animal manifest the symptoms the old one died from?
Animals don’t have souls.
Besides, a clone is basically a twin. When twin humans are formed they both have their own soul.
