a whole different discussion:
Genetic clones would not experience identical developmental conditions in the womb; for example cloned house pets aren't even necessarily the same color as the animal they are a "duplicate" of, because their hair color is influenced by nutritional conditions during development. There is also epigenetics, IE the expression of genes, which is influenced by environmental factors (and btw has also been proven to be hereditary in some cases). What I'm saying is that the concept of creating "copies" of living organisms is a myth. Genes alone are not a concrete blueprint.
