My Questions:
Does a cyborg (human with mechanical parts, e.g. a mechanical hand) have a soul?
Does an android (fully mechanical human shaped robot) have a soul?
How about an android with a patch of human skin?
How much organic parts must a cyborg possess to be considered having a soul?
If I were to remove half of every organ (brain included) from a human and replace them with synthetic equivalents, does this cyborg have a soul?
What if I were to use those removed half organs and combine them with synthetic half organs to make another cyborg, does he then have a soul too?
So can one make two souls from one or is there such a thing as half a soul?
p.s. While I was performing sentry duty at the live-firing area at Poyan, my fellow sentry told me that every human has a soul when I confessed I did not believe I had one. Professor Steve Mann from the University of Toronto just popped up in my mind since he was, being a cyborg as he claimed, not entirely human. The chain of questions naturally followed to which my companion had no clear answers. After all, who would have applied fuzzy logic when discussing the ethereal?
