flapdoodle, and flapdoodle from Blavatsky as well.

What gives *me* pause (and chills), is to know that people
(theosophists, even) are contemplating that there may be living,
inteligent, feeling beings (which a clone would be, IMHO), and
that it's possible to contemplate them being 'soulless'. What
might be done to and with these beings by those who regard them
as 'soulless' is frightening.

I don't know how to count monads - and I don't care to learn -
but I believe that if the concept of 'soul' has any meaning, it
applies to all sentient beings (at least).

Peace to all beings -
