What happens if we clone a clone?

Just a comment.
Scientists wish to use cloning to produce Tulkus, in other words, the genetically identical body=same personality, which is a fallacy.
As long as official science thinks the external personality has its origin in the brain cells and all its electrical activities, itīll be the ever pervading error in the studies on the mistery of life.

That's kind of the point I've been trying to make. Clones are only 
identical on the DNA lavel, and even then, they will not have the 
environmentally generated mutations that exist in all of us from the 
moment of conception.

Once again, that is the point I've been trying to make.

EXACTLY!!!!

It would be an identical body, but NOT the same monad (or even, 
probably, the same aura, especially if one believes the aura to be the 
first root race body, and the carrier of karma from one incarnation to 
the next).
