About this episode

The episode explores the philosophical and ethical questions surrounding the existence of a soul in human clones and related topics.

Questions about whether or not a human clone would have a soul, when each identical twin receives a soul, whether anencephalic babies have a soul, and whether the fact that scientists can use AI to decode people’s thoughts by analyzing their brain activity disproves the soul.
