A related, but far more troubling question concerns the cloning of human beings. Ethicists have tried to grapple with the question of whether cloned humans would have soul. For many ethicists the question is moot. They simply don’t believe that humans have a unique transcendental element to their being. But we are a unique species, and what exactly constitutes our uniqueness as individual examples of that species will be one question which will inevitably arise should we ever go down this path.
