Would a clone have a soul?

Answer 1

there is no actual definition of what a soul is. indeed, i do not believe in any religion, and i therefor do not believe in souls. but i can tell you that a clone will be 100% identical to the being that its DNA was taken from. and just incase you were wondering how they make clones, its not some sort of freaky-crazy-scientist-experiment-conducted-in-a-tall-tower-during-a-lightning-storm-with-bottles-full-of hissing-blue-liquid-type-science. all that they do is take a cell neucleus out of a beings cell, and put it into an egg (that has had its cell neuleus taken out) of that same beings species, implant it into womb of a female of that species, and let it grow naturaly. so if you do believe in souls, then there is no reason to believe that clone would not have one. the only difference between cloning and normal conception is that instead of a sperm cell delivering DNA into the egg, its a person with a tiny syringe injecting the cell neucleus into the egg. appart from that, there is no difference.
