I think the question about the soul is an important one, because many tend to believe that the "soul" is created at the time of conception, and with cloning, there is no real conception steming from a male and a female. There is the generation of a being from a single cell of the one who is cloned. In the case of the recent alleged birth of the cloned female, it was a skin cell that was used. If a cloned person has a unique soul, we may need to re-think our definition and understanding of the creation of a human person. There are huge moral implications.

It depends what cloning method is used. if Two zygotes are present there is a male and female involved, conception just happened outside of the female body. if there are not two zygotes...what hath we wrought?

Yes, of course there are moral implications, and I think nomatter what that we have no business in cloning.

To me though, the soul question is moot. The existence of a soul (whatever that really means) is assumed. It would have to be proven that a cloned person is somehow soul-less, and that is impossible. It is not a meaningful question.
