Genuinely curious: We have a pet rescue greyhound who feels like a genuine part of the family - would you say he has a soul too? (I presume you would say my daughter's pet goldfish does not.)
- HideousKojima 3y agoI believe that all living things have souls, so yes even your goldfish
- 8bitchemistry 3y agoEven single-celled life, such as bacteria? (I presume "no" for viruses and prions.)
- HideousKojima 3y agoYes for bacteria, maybe for viruses, probably not for prions. For what it's worth, I'm LDS (Mormon) and I think my view is probably pretty common amongst members of the church. That said we would technically use the term spirit instead of soul, I just used soul because it's a more commonly understood term. Basically all living things have a spirit in addition to their physical form.
- 8bitchemistry 3y agoThank you for replying to my questions in good faith.
- majkinetor 3y agoSo when you transplant whatever thing from a body to another body, what happens with its soul/spirit? Notice that we transplanted all of them (in humans and animals). Do we have multi spirit/soul chimeras?
