In the bigger picture, what does this say about cloning and how we feel about cloning? Making a match of "you" is impossible. The different conditions that have existed for your entire life cannot be matched. The experiences that make you what you are, and even what you look like, are all your own. Your brain is more powerful than your DNA. The raw materials that make up a human being do not describe what a person is.

Cool.

Right on the money. Any clone of a person has to be considered a full and separate human being by our legal structure. We cannot own our clones. The Pope will also have to get on board eventually and admitt that its just another form of reproduction (he he) and clones have souls.
