Animals don’t have souls.
Besides, a clone is basically a twin. When twin humans are formed they both have their own soul.
A clone is a late born twin.
They would get their souls from the same place that everyone else gets their souls, from God.
The idea that clones would be denied a soul comes from the same people who thought that twins "shared" a soul, or that only one had a soul or that one twin was "evil".
Such superstitious twaddle should be slapped down hard.
Because once the idea that "they don't have souls" takes root you are only a step away from saying that people are property rather then people. That never ends well.
Besides a religious teaching; what do you base your opinion animals don’t have souls on.
Some of the best people I’ve ever known weren’t people at all; they were of course animals.
I bet Roy Rogers believed Trigger had a soul. I don’t want to get into some big argument about this but I am curious as to why some people believe animals don’t have souls. Is because we farm and eat them? Shoot them for sport? What?
Is it possible some do indeed rise to the level of intelligence and self awareness that proves they have a soul? Is it possible they have a kind of soul-light? In my humble opinion all dogs do indeed go to heaven. Is it possible they go to their own heaven or do they go to the heaven we do so we can be reunited? Maybe there’s a sort of doggie heaven where dogs can run, play, and be free rather than locked behind fences/gates and doors. Maybe some animal souls are different and the keep coming back until they are ready to move on. Of course this implies they can think that deeply which is an altogether other subject I suppose; or is it?
I realize no one here can possibly answer any of these questions so they are pretty much rhetorical. I just put them out there as food for thought more than anything else.
Man can not create souls as they are the source of life itself.
Any thing living has a soul or it would not be living.
Just as my Father’s Mansion has many rooms, there are many levels of souls.
