Would they act differently? Some say that a clone would have no 'soul'. Would this make them less intelligent? Docile? Easily controlled?

think that a life is a life. A clone is alive, it made with the same building blocks that every life has. These are not robots they are humans. They have souls, what every that means to you.

I suspect, only about as different as between an ape and a human.
One is sentient, and the other is merely a trainable animal.
That's my "take" on what cloning can do: reproduce bodies without any link to the Eternal Universe.
Of dubious value. All we NEED is MORE sub-humans, right?
Is the difference for them have to do with natural conception? Was there such ferver from the religionists in the day of the 'test tube baby'?

There are clones alive and walking around in the world today, as there have been for milennia.
They're called "twins." The difference between a twin and a clone is that the clone might be born years after the original is.
So... let's restate the question: do you think that one member of a set of twins does NOT have a soul/is easier to control, etc? If so, which one, and how do you explain it?

And if so...would it ever be legalized? I hope not...for all sorts of reasons!
