Nobody can define or quantify what makes up a soul. We'd get way out in the weeds hypothesizing about if a clone of me would have my soul (I reckon not) or one of it's own but that is not necessarily my concern.

They HAVE indeed started cloning pets, I'd never clone a pet either. When people get seemingly unlimited lives then life loses what makes it precious which is that it is finite.


Imagine if you will, there was genetic manipulation and the wealthy got all the cures for diseases and so on or they could clone themselves and the poor were left to rot in the gutters or starved or wiped out with a disease specifically targeted to weaknesses in their DNA.....I know eugenics happened and in my state there were forced sterilizations for certain people up until the 1970's....think big government wouldn't run roughshod over the peons? Think again! They do it whenever they are able to. Give an inch to a politician and they'll see themselves as a ruler.
