Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [RELIGION] Billions Planets Likely in Milky Way

[Rick <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

That's gonna be pretty tough when the evangelical types consistently 
call for banning cloning.

I wonder what type of theological debate it would spark to clone a 
human? Say, for example, some Korean scientist cloned an adult human and 
the resulting clone behaved exactly as the original...or, if it behaved 
completely different. Isn't there some interesting intellectual debate 
to be had on that topic regarding souls?

Personally, I suspect that debate is at least part of the reason for the 
stance against cloning.
