Guest guest Posted February 23, 2000 Report Share Posted February 23, 2000 Hi Arun Further to your question about 'Cloning' No, there is no need to explain yourself further. Cloning I suppose means producing identical twins (or triplets etc). (This is my simplistic understanding). The only difference being that this is done in an artificial manner. The idea about clones is that they must have identical genes. Just as with the identical twins. So what does Hinduism say about Identical Twins? Do they share the same 'inner mental qualities'? I am sure many list members will have their views on this topic. I am no expert in this field but let me present my thoughts on this. Identical twins do exhibit certain similarities of inner character but there is never a perfect fit - they are both different individuals. They always seem to have slightly different inner traits. Hinduism will say - two 'Jivatmas' (embodied souls -with individual mind body complexes) with similar traits may be born as identical twins (or be born as part of some cloning process). Hence Hindu ethics may have no objection to the process of cloning. They may say, " You are just assisting these 'similar' Jivatmas to take birth. Good for you!
