Bible Question:
Regarding the proposed cloning of human beings... Because they are mixing DNA and not sperm to eggs does this new clone not have a soul therefore?? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
