Cloned animals
Question:
On public forums I have twice now heard the suggestion (by vegetarians) that cloned animals could be the solution to the animal slaughter problem because clones have no souls.
The next step would be cloning humans as “souless” worker slaves with no rights I believe. Such nightmarish proposals.
My question is how do I counter this? When exactly does the soul enter the clone form?
And could you speak something on the karma involved in taking such a birth as a clone.
Answer:
This is a incorrect idea that cloned animals have no souls. Without a soul there can be no consciousness. There are so many souls waiting to take birth so when the clone cells are favorable then the soul enters.
Doesn’t seem like very good karma that is true.
Yours sincerely,
