Again, I'm a little lost. I'm assuming that most people here are using a judeo-christian definition of a soul, so it might be that, but why exactly is it that Humans (which are animals) can have souls, but animals cannot. Or if they do (as was alluded above) why are their souls considered so different? I'm just missing the qualifications, I suppose.
That said, I think that my only opposition to eating cloned meat refers way back in this thread to when it was pointed out that most clones are sickly. This is true. We have in no way perfected cloning, so it seems kind of dangerous to switch over to it for our food at this stage. Then again, I have the same type of argument against Genetically modified food. I'm not against it exactly, but it hasn't been tested enough for me to trust it. But that won't stop the multinationals from selling it to us.
