Lucas didn't do the clones justice by treating them as nothing more than CGI cannon fodder in the prequel trilogy. An entire other team had to create more (and better) stories to explore the obvious moral dilemma of creating clone soldiers enslaved to the Republic's MIC.
Maybe not that specifically, but it would certainly be a logical extrapolation of the centuries of absurd anatomy speculation that's historically tied to theological institutions. Like the prevailing European "theories" about how reproduction biologically worked have for most of recorded history effectively boiled down to "it's a magical exchange of life essence that gives the child shape and spirit," (and for the sake of clarity these sorts of ideas pre-dated Christianity too, as well as persisting through it until more modern biology provided an actual understanding of what was happening) and that's left a lot of cultural baggage with how religious institutions view sexuality, reproduction, and reproductive rights even if it's not literally believed anymore.
Like I'm sure there's no scriptural statement that's literally "oh and, uh, if you somehow were to create a child without fucking first, it wouldn't have a soul or something, idk" but I would be willing to bet that some modern evangelical or catholic theologians have made that exact argument once the topic of cloning entered the public conscience. They may be complete cranks like young earth creationists are, but I'm sure that argument's been made, probably even made it into lectures at a conference and filtered down into sermons made by preachers, entering into the sort of informal canon that's responsible for all sorts of galaxy-brain takes that their institutions and officials accept as gospel truth despite having literally no scriptural evidence for it.
