Faculty Q &
A
Dr. Kenneth Weed of
the Chemistry Department.
Q: Would human clones have souls?
A: Definitely yes. Essentially, you're getting identical
twins. The difference is that the identical twins were raised in
the same womb at same time while clones will be raised in different
wombs at different times. Furthermore, the idea that a clone will
be exactly the same as the original is not true. If you look at
a set of identical twins-both of whom have souls-you can see each
is clearly a different person. Thus, if we cloned Michael Jordan,
he might not even be interested in basketball-he might want to be
an accountant!
