I don't have the energy to get into this right now, but cloning simplified is this: Subject A's egg has its nucleus removed and replaced with the nucleus of another cell from Subject B. (I think.)
A clone is a different (but same) person. It has nothing to do with thoughts, memories, etc. Unless you believe the nucleus of our cells make up our memories, which sounds akin to a soul.
....I didn't think so.
