Chinese scientists clone monkeys, break barrier to human cloning
LONDON — Chinese scientists have cloned monkeys using the same technique that produced Dolly the sheep two decades ago, breaking a technical barrier that could open the door to copying humans.
Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, two identical long-tailed macaques, were born eight and six weeks ago, making them the first primates -- the order of mammals that includes monkeys, apes and humans -- to be cloned from a non-embryonic cell.
There are lots of sci-fi movies about cloning human beings and I guess atheist scientists are moving towards this goal to become as gods.
Now the question is - let's say scientists do clone a child - can that child be a living soul?
Can a clone live if God does not give of his Spirit to such a cloned being?
Is a human being more than just biology?
