I don't personally believe that vampires have souls either. I think it's a trade-off for the immortality thing. But as far as I know, the only type of soul is supposed to be the 'human' soul. Animals aren't supposed to have souls...yet they have no problem procreating. Hitler was extremely evil...yet he had a soul.

I believe what Carlisle and some of his other family member developed was a conscience. This conscience tells them it's wrong to kill. Do they make mistakes? Of course, but their conscience always puts them back on track again. The Volturi have never bothered to develop a conscience....so that's the reason they are the way they are.

But having a soul shouldn't hinder procreation.
