solid, and then a sentient being." And again (page 126),
"The best of the race could be multiplied indefinitely and
man could make man literally out of the dust of the earth."
This does not imply a split-up of one individual into
several smaller sizes or fractional parts, but rather the
production of identical entities exactly as thousands of
phonograph records can be created from the master matrix.

7--As to the question of soul, I suggest that inasmuch as
what we call the soul of an individual is always judged by
that individual's behavior, and that medical science now
maintains that behavior is largely dependent upon our
physical mechanism, it would follow that the identical human
mechanisms would have identical souls.--Jackson Gee.
