No matter how any of us feel about the issue, as Jen said it IS being done. <br /><br />I don't think God would ever shut His eyes to a life created, no matter how it was created. I would even think that since He knows what's going on with cloning experiments, if one is successful He Suzie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06296203324088418271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-8279579209419198362012-01-28T12:10:17.733-05:002012-01-28T12:10:17.733-05:00I love YA.

My vote is yes it would, although I can't say that with any certainty.

I think the only reason we haven't seen human clones yet is because of the ethical conundrum. But I think it's only a matter of time.<br /><br />The issue of a soul is the real sticking point... if you create a duplicate of Jennifer AlLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178922554247015759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-55027127322194548572012-01-28T10:06:38.374-05:002012-01-28T10:06:38.374-05:00I'm all for cloning.

In that episode, everyone had a clone and the clones were used for "spare parts". <br /><br />And yes, it does bring to mind that question of a soul that Dina mentioned.
