One to Ponder

OK - now here is a question about re-incarnation. So, when the scientists successfully manage to clone a human (if they have not already) then what about their Spirit/Soul??????
Do they manage to clone the soul, split the soul or would another soul join the clone

Hmmm that's a good question .... never thought about that .... but can't quite get my head around it this late at night lol - i guess the new being would get it's own soul - don't think the soul/spirit/essence can be cloned, just the physical body ... & I don't know about splitting the soul ?? might need to sleep on it & come back to this tomorrow ...

WOW that is a good question. One of which I certainly have no answer to, nor could I speculate.

you can speculate its just our opinions

As the body cannot function without the soul then the soul i would think , could not be spilt, cloned ,etc.

The soul is the 'I' of the body . 1 cannot function without the other.

Another thought does everything have a soul , from rock's to the single blade of grass????

I don't think all things have a soul - just my opinion
I do believe that people and animals do because they have a brain and can think, but as far as a rock, no. Blade of grass or tree? I do believe they had an aura but not necessarily a soul.

hmm...well for starters, i think that everything that feels emotions has a soul...as for cloning...maybe the soul is cloned along with the body

I don't like to think that we can clone a soul - I don't even like to think that we can clone a human really, what would they be like? How would they develop their personality?
I like to think that something is sacred and the making of a human being or an animal is for nature not for science.

Interesting that we are having this discussion now as they announce that scientists have successfully created artificial life,

wait, was that the thing they were saying they created life from chemicals and it could cure cancer?
personally i dont get any of that.....just...HOW????

I thought I heard something like that on the radio just today...have to look at some news I guess. I hate the thought of scientists interfering AGAIN with nature - no wonder this world is in crisis. I can't understand though how this artificial person would have a personality, a soul, anything really...maybe I better do some reading before I get carried away LOL

In our world it good to think and talk about these things

just did a quick search which has explained it a little (at least, the story i heard). this guy explains that a scientist has, basically, created some dna using chemicals and transpanted it into a living cell and keep it going and replicating by itself (listen to the first audio on the link)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/news/2010/05/100521_synthetic_life_nh_sl.shtml

I did a quick search too. What I read was that they take DNA from someone and fertilize an egg (or something like that) then implant it into a woman's womb - similar to IVF I should think but without sperm. Creepy. What's going to happen to our men if we don't need them anymore?

oh I will always need my man
