I don't see why they wouldn't... its like a twin... except conceived and born later. I seem to recall hearing that in the middle ages people having a lot of fear of twins because they supposedly did not have souls.

GOd only has so many souls to give. Unfortunately, not everyone can have one. Fortunately, those that don't get one are aborted anyway.Comment

A clone has the same genetic template as the person they are based on. That's all. It's basically an identical twin created years after the original is born.
Do natural identical twins have the same soul, or does one not have a soul?|"Anything I can do to help?" "Um. Short of dying? No, can't think of a |

the word soul can be taken to a non-spiritual sense, as garlic is saying.Originally posted by Pekka
Wow, very good question!
CapitaGarlic, so .. when computer science takes on to the next leve and AI is getting more impressive.. would you say they have a soul? Let's say we build a robot with great AI, it's able to learn, able to reflect itself with the other world.. they know what they are, they know what humans are, and have knowledge about their differencies. Everything has been programmed... and they'd be able to learn too, and because of few bugs, they'd make some mistakes too. Would you consider this thing has a soul? What makes it different from clone? We can slap some living tissue to it also.
i equate soul with sentience, and if machines could think, they'd have a "soul".

Why add confusion? If youthen why use the useless word soul at all? Let the religious people have it.i equate soul with sentience
Only cell phones have souls, not people.

Non-cloned humans don't have souls, so why should cloned humans have soulsChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

just to reiterate. And another poster also suggested this.
The current technique of creating clones really is the same thing as having a delayed identical twin. So unless you say twins don't have souls, you can't say clones don't have souls.Comment
