If humans could be cloned would the clone have a soul?

[Edit]

Answer

Until we agree on a Universal definition of what a soul is, then your question will remain unanswerable. Different religion and Philosophies have different idea (and only an idea, no proof) of what a soul is.

Answer

If there is such a thing as a soul I'd assume yes. Identical twins form when one egg naturally clones to create another. Nobody ever debates where one of the identical twins doesn't have a soul. If a human was cloned artificially the clone would start out as a baby just like anybody else, just with exactly identical DNA to its parent.
