With the great advances having been made in science during the past several years, even greater and more thought-provoking questions have been brought out concerning bioethics. One is how far is too far when combining humans genetically with animals? Is even just putting some human blood into their bodies wrong, or does it become wrong once they have been changed dramatically into basically human beings with animal origins? Where does one draw the line? Is it okay to even do it for medical reasons in order to save peoples' lives? This article explores some of the new advances being made in the field of biogenetics, but it fails to answer one question that I have: At what point do mammals become human beings with souls? If a person whose beginnings were in a petri dish grows up and has a soul, do those animals implanted with human parts, even human brains, have souls as well?

You don't have to ask if non-human animals have souls when implanted with human organs; it's obvious that they have souls just as well as we do.
