I was talking to a peer when I brought up the subject of
Cloning.
I asked,
"What is the difference between cloning someone who is alive
or cloning someone who is dead."
We already clone most of our
and the rich like to bring back their favorite dead pets.
See;
and
These are just two of the companies in the
United States
bringing back your dead pets to life.
South Korea
has been doing it for at least three decades.
Our discussion centered around a person's
Essence or Soul.
We pretty much agreed that a
Cloned
person's environment meant a lot on how that individual would grow up and grow old.
The same two cloned individuals,
say one growing up in
Los Angeles California,
compared to the one growing up in
Fairbanks Alaska,
would not have the same personality traits as the other.
There would be similarities,
of course,
but I personally believe that the environment one lives in has a lot to do with the type of person that you will become.

I wrote about cloning before in my short story
(It's about a person's soul or essence being drawn back into each subsequent cloned body after it is revived.)

But my question to my peer was,
"If
a dead person is cloned and brought back to life, does the original
person's essence or soul inherits the new cloned body? Or is there a different soul
for that body? And what if you clone a live person, do they share one
soul or somehow a new soul is given to the cloned body, by the grace of
God. Or higher power. Whatever you prefer."
Do I have the answer?
No.
These are questions I believe for the
Theologians,
like my friend,
will have to ponder in the near future.
As we are having more
Test Tube Babies,
people being
Genetically Enhanced,
and with people saving their bodies in
Cryonic Laboratories,
in case they pass away suddenly.
Me?
Myself?
I plan on being a
Head
on top of my daughters computer.
Something like what you see on the
TV Show
