I remember reading somewhere a while back that it was said that clones do not have souls, as they are assentially a double of someone else.

ok, so if a clone doesnt have a soul, how can it be a double. since the origional had one. that would mean that they arnt duplicates, but just the outer shells of us

The way I understood it, the only thing that is cloned is the body and not the soul, as it can not be, being insubstantial.

Thats an interesting question ... It is a belief in some religions and one that I find facinating that the soul is made up of a collective concions (spelling) . That it is someway connected to every body as well as being an individual thing .
so as my soul wich resides both in my body and as a part of the collective conscience (second attempt :0) ) may also reside partly in someone else's body . This would mean that it would be possible to share the soul ether out amongst clones allowing them to have a soul also .
Perhaps even a new soul can be created when a birth takes place who knows , very interesting indeed .
Now I just have to get this darn Wizard of OZ song out of my head
P.S I still don't know how anybody will be able to tell for sure that they have Jesus's DNA.

not sure about the DNA either, but it was just an assumption

Exactly what I was thinking Kismet
, Even if they did manage to get a sample from the 'Shroud', What the hell are they going to compare it to ?
