I wouldn\'t go that far. There \'\'is\'\' truth to that statement, sad to say; a fellow Catholic I know once said that a human clone wouldn\'t have a real soul, and possibly be animated by a demon.

Still, I\\\'m not sure if I\\\'m an exception, but suffice it to say it\\\'s a little unfair to presume \\\"most\\\" Christians are like that, especially considering (spoiler marked for risk of offensiveness) [[spoiler: [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman the position of Pro-Life]]]]
To add to that, if {{transhumanism}} extends to such things as [[ArtificialLimbs cybernetic prosthetics]], then I\\\'m promising that \\\'\\\'no\\\'\\\' Christian would actually say that someone with a robot arm/leg has no soul or something. Or for that matter, having an organ that was regrown and transplanted. Bodily modifications such as these (which are pretty much the most common type today) probably don\\\'t fall under this though, right?
