Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
basically a clone is the same as a delayed identical twin. Even less so because not all 100% of the DNA is transferred. As of now they cannot make exact clones.
A clone is just like any other human being, it's just grown as a copy of one. It will grow up with its own unique experiences. It's just like an identical twin. Of course it has a soul. I'm sick of these jesus freaks saying crap like, "God only gives souls to natural birth children... yadda yadda"

I say "yes" - be it a "naturally" conceived human or a human that has been cloned. The following phase says it all:
I know, therefore I am.

Oh my God! (pardon the pun) Sava and I are in agreeance!

A person's soul, as I see it, is their being, their conciousness. A person's being, their awareness of everything they see and know, is not determined by their genes, or their body, or if someone else had them first. Their soul in this sense is determined by their experiences and their environment. Since it is not possible for two people, even clones, to have exactly the same experiences, each one is a completely different individual. Take for instance identical twins. Nature's clones. Certainly they can turn out to be quite different, right?
In this sense, yes, clones do have souls.
