A clone is not a duplicate. Each organism is an individual, even if the genetic material is the same. Creatures are shaped by environment and experiences. Not just by genes.
Lady, go get a rescue dog from the shelter.
“A clone is not a duplicate. Each organism is an individual, even if the genetic material is the same. Creatures are shaped by environment and experiences.”
Its true that creatures are shaped by environment and experience but there may also be genetic components to how we react. Identical twins separated at birth often have similar occupations, attitudes and preferences. Clearly more data is needed but its not unreasonable to think that a cloned pet will look and behave more like the original than a completely different animal.
