What do I think about clones? I think the world needs to accept that an
identical genotype is a far cry from an identical phenotype.

In said case, HE doesn't come back....there is just someone else who looks
similar with some similar habits....

This can be used to create an interesting plot (variations on the good
twin/bad twin theme.), but PLEASE, for the sake of beating this
media-induced craze, DON'T encourage people to think that a clone is the
SAME person.
