Would a clone have human rights?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The legal status of clones is currently unclear, and would likely vary depending on the country and its laws. In some jurisdictions, clones may be granted similar rights as humans, while in others they may not be considered to have the same rights or protections. Ethical and philosophical debates continue on this topic.

Answer 3

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.
