1 | human clones - souls? | Ezek 18:4 | Lionstrong | 65029 | ||
Hi Alissa And welcome to the Forum! Here is an answer I gave to a similar question: Does a human clone have a soul? Answer Gen 2:7 Lionstrong Thu 04/19/01, 8:43pm Since there's no such thing as a human clone yet, the question should be, "WOULD a human..." And so far as I've heard, the "cloning" that's been done so far has been on already fertilized eggs, not on pieces of genetic material like you see in science fiction movies. So if a man were cloned at the present state of the technology, he would have a soul. Further, that which has no soul would not be human, for to be human means to have body and soul. "Fear not those who can only kill the body.... Fear Him who can destroy both body and soul in hell." Matt. 10:28 Peace, |

2 | human clones - souls? | Ezek 18:4 | FTimA | 65232 | ||
Lionstrong, I am curious about the process of cloning. Do you exactly how it is done? I can understand a human being cloned from a fertilized egg having a soul because the initial joining of the male and female gamete is part of God's original design in reproduction. On the other hand, cloning from a piece of genetic material would, in my present state of understanding, not produce a soul. If you consider that each cell of the human body has the genetic makeup of that particular individual, just like the male and female gametes do, a soul may be possible. The scientists are probably saying to themselves, "We really won't know until we do it." | ||||||
