The first question that came to my mind remains unresolved to me, and that
is a question of the clonee's spiritual condition. How, if at all, does
that person's soul relate to that of the donor? Does the redemptive work of
Christ get passed on, if the donor is a Christian? Etc., etc. Just as in
physics, science and theology are colliding. I think this is an excellent
forum for discussing such an issue.
