Do clones have the same DNA?

Clones contain identical sets of genetic material in the nucleus—the compartment that contains the chromosomes—of every cell in their bodies. Thus, cells from two clones have the same DNA and the same genes in their nuclei.

Do clones live shorter lives?

Myth: When clones are born, they’re the same age as their donors, and don’t live long. Clones are born the same way as other newborn animals: as babies. A study on Dolly (the famous sheep clone) showed that her telomeres were the shorter length of her (older) donor, even though Dolly was much younger.

There is no hard and fast, crystal-clear answer to the question of whether or not a cloned human would possess a soul. That being said, most interpretations of the Bible, and the general sense of Christian theology, would suggest cloned humans would, in fact, have souls.

Is human cloning real or a conspiracy?

Conspiracy theorists say that human cloning began after WW2 and allows scientists to transfer the mind into a new body. There are claims that a secret group of wealthy elite, The Illuminati, clone people all the time in order to control and even torture them. Seems far fetched, so why are we so concerned?

Does the Bible say anything about human cloning?

Some go so far as to claim human cloning would be impossible because no soul would be created! How one views this issue hinges, almost completely, on his view of how a soul comes to be created. As with other narrow, non-salvation topics, the Bible gives no direct answers. In those circumstances, we should not be dogmatic, but careful.

What is the DNA of a human clone’s father?

The resulting human would have DNA from only the single donor. Genetically, the clone’s “father” is the donor’s father, and the clone’s “mother” is the donor’s mother. But in terms of conception, the clone itself would have no such parents. If the biological joining of the parents’ essence is what creates souls,…
