Until we agree on a Universal definition of what a soul is, then your question will remain unanswerable. Different religion and Philosophies have different idea (and only an idea, no proof) of what a soul is. *see related link; "Wikipedia: Soul" on left.. If there is such a thing as a soul I'd assume yes. Identical twins form when one egg naturally clones to create another. Nobody ever debates where one of the identical twins doesn't have a soul. If a human was cloned artificially the clone would start out as a baby just like anybody else, just with exactly identical DNA to its parent.

it is a countersal topic because of the fact of religious and morally beliefs and the mentality that humans are the dominant specie.

Human cloning is a controversial venture and it is unlikely that it will ever be totally accepted in society.

If humans were cloned, most people would probably agree that they should be treated the same as any other human. Afterall, they can't control the way they are born, just like you or me cannot control our skin color or gender.

However, I have discussed the topic with different Demographics of people to find some mixed responses. Some in the religious community say they would not let a clone into their house of worship since their god did not create them. Others say that they should be viewed as property.

However, since the world of human cloning seems to be a far off prospect now, this question will probably remain open for discussion.

I have more to add to the section above, i believe that the people with religion, are wrong, because, since god created you, and you make the clone, then therefore, god made the clone.

This is a ridiculous question. Why wouldn't they have rights and why wouldn't they have the same rights as everyone else? Just because the human didn't come from sex doesn't mean they are not human. Anyone who disagrees is superstitious and unintelligent. This will be the next form of slavery/racism. Even dogs have rights. A human is a human.

No. But I'd like to see you try.


Why cannnot you clone people?

It's mostly to do with ethics and laws. Imagine if you were to clone yourself. Would the clone have rights? Would it be a citizen? What if you killed it, or it killed you?


Would killing your clone be considered murder if you are still alive?

I'm fairly certain human cloning is illegal in most places, but considering there was a clone of you, they would be a human being and as such killing them would be murder.


Is it safe to clone humans?

No, becuasse when you clone a human then they have no feelings and the clone will get beat up and probably die. SO, therefore, cloning a human would be totally... useless. Cloning is dangourus because it enharets the same genetic mutation as the person before it, therefor meaning if a person got arthuridus at 15 the clone would have it when it was born. if they cloned a 30 year old woman and she had kidney problems and acholhal problems, when her clone is born it would need achohol to survive, and it would have kidney problems.


Do clones have to eat?

If a healthy human clone would exist (they don't as of yet, since cloning is quite difficult to do and human cloning is illegal in most nations), it would need to eat. This is because the clone is still a human being and as such it has the same basic needs such as food, oxygen etc. It will also have feelings and be capable of thought just like any other human.

Can clones never be human Why?

No humans have been cloned yet. Should a human ever be cloned, then presumably, the clone would be identical (genetically) to the original from which it is copied; thus, it would be a human.
