Excellent article!

The mind reels at the contemplation of just exactly what a "souless" person (clone) would be like. Or will clones have souls? I would not think they would.

I truely believe that when God said, "Let us made man in our image...", that He was speaking of the spirit or soul that man would possess, thus setting man apart from other animals. Without a soul, would a clone have a conscious? Would he/she know right from wrong or even understand the concept? Without a soul, what other attributes would be missing or unable to be performed by the brain? And would we even be able to tell there was any differences until it was too late and we had a whole generation of souless people born upon the earth?

My husband and I were talking about that yesterday -- whether or not a clone would have a soul. We decided probably not, but is there a definitive answer?

Your implications are scarey in at least two ways:
1. The very real and pathetic likelihood that cloning will be done in the future en masse, possibly engineered for slavery, soldiering, and spare body parts.
2. The danger of us non-clones believing they do not have souls where possibly they might have souls, or believing they have souls when indeed they are souless. If the scientific community can convince us, like they have on evolution through abortion, that clones are souless, they surely have pretty much gone to the next to the last step in declaring man to be only worth $.
