My personal opinion is the means by which the Person comes into being is does not determin wheather a soal is preasent and I am not aware of anything in the Bible that would exclude some people from haveing one.

That being the case I do not see why Cloneing should be Taboo (The population boom would/should not be an issue sine it would still require a woman to cary the baby to term) The one valid argument against reproductave cloneing would be if we ended up shallowing our gene pool with the same copy (not sure that would be a problem unless you could let folks donate/sell DNA for cloneing and everyone wants there own Jordan or who ever)
