        It's ok. We just have to make them really stupid robots. We could always put the spam bots incharge of them.

                    Is it OK to kill a twin to harvest his/her organs for the sake of the other?

                      Dwight: When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had resorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No. I believe his tissues made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.

                          A twin has AFAIK a separate soul. So, no, it's no okay to kill one.

                          This is different. As I said above:

                          But it's my cell, so...
                          either it doesn't have a soul (so killing it is no biggie)
                          or it has a soul, but the soul is...I dunno...mine?

                            It has the same DNA as the other twin. The same principle follows if you use one of your cells to create an embryo.

                              By that logic identical twins have only 1 soul between them.

                                I don't think any but the nuttiest nutjobs would oppose harvesting mature cells (skin cells, for example) of any origin in order to do research/treat disease. What they usually oppose is destroying embroyos or using destroyed embryos (as this creates a demand and promotes their destruction) as embryos are regarded as people, ergo, their destruction immoral.

                                If only we could take skin cells and cause them to dedifferentiate into pluripotent stem cells -- that's holy grail territory that is.

                                Someone get to work though, I need a new pancreas.

                                edit: Stem --> skin
                                The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.
