“Every man has a soul, but will every man’s clone have a soul? No, because me and some scientists will have sucked them out in the lab. Why sell your soul to the devil, when you can sell your clone’s soul?”
In this thought-provoking quote by Jarod Kintz, the concept of cloning and the existence of a soul are brought into question. The speaker suggests that while every man may possess a soul, the same may not hold true for their clones. Through dark humor, Kintz implies that scientists may extract and manipulate the souls of clones in a laboratory setting. This raises ethical and philosophical concerns about the nature of the soul and the implications of human experimentation.

“Do I own my soul, or would two of my clones?”
“I’m a door-to-door salesman. I sell doors. If I can’t knock on yours, because you don’t have a door to knock on, I know you’ll be interested in what I’m selling.”
“A clone’s most valuable function would be as a gift giver, because who else but you knows exactly what you want? Only your clone. And besides being the perfect gift, it’d also be a surprise, because it’s not like you bought your own gift.”
“Writing all day every day is good, but it’s not good enough. You need to have your clone ghostwriting for you too.”
“My hero’s hero is not necessarily my hero, unless my clone’s hero is my clone’s clone.”
