Orcs creation theory - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ok, i agree, Morgoth probably did not create Orcs but corrupted them into themselves.

But I'm still wondering: Is Fëa (soul) passed down from parents to children, or does Eru have to give each being its own Fëa. If the case is the latter, then the first corrupted product (orc) would have a spirit but the next generation, its child, would not have one. It would be an empty body, unless Eru chose to give each new orc a soul, and my question's are:

Why would he do that? Do they or will they serve some purpose for Eru?
