The theory that this has already happened aside; If ‘we’ clone a Human, and they ‘turn out’ ‘normal’…aside from being a carbon copy in looks of someone else whomever they were cloned from…I’m curious how a ‘cloned’ Human gets it’s Soul? Obviously I’m asking what the Christian/religious explanation would be. And for that matter, how do ‘test tube’/’petrie dish’ and other laboratory created embryos get their Soul? If Life starts at the moment of conception, (as some believe) does ‘God’ then zap a Soul into the dividing cells in the lab?
So far they (babies/people who came into being this way) all seem to be just like everyone else conceived/born in the regular/Biblical sense. They cast reflections & don’t scream & run from churches or burn from Holy Water, so when did they get their Soul? How are the rules different for them?
Then the cloning thing…do people with certain beliefs fear Human cloning for deeper reasons such as a step closer to dis-proving these beliefs? Kind of like some fear the Da Vinci Code situation would disprove many long and rigidly held beliefs.
I wonder, would cloning a Human ‘destroy’ Christianity in any way?
