If my DNA has been taken out and clone many copy of me, so which copy of me is me? If I wish to lift up my right hand, does all copy of me lift up their right hand too?
Obviously they won't. they will live as an independent life. But then, what really define me? if it is not DNA, not the body, what it could be?Why I am the one I am? Can't I be the other?

You are a collection of both your physical body (which is itself a collection of your dna, your level of growth and any lasting physical changes (such as a los of a limb)), and your mind which is collected of your experience.
Thus, if cloned, you would be the copy of you with this particular collection of things. Your clone would have distinct differences.

Identical twins (or triplets, etc.) are natural clones
of each other, and they are obviously different
individuals. If you were cloned artificially another
new individual would be produced. There is no way a clone could be you because it would not
have had all the experiences you have had.

Let me tell you that if a scientist takes DNA to check that your are the father you will be surprised because in this year it has been shown that the result would be 96.1 % that you are the father. Ok my point is that nobody is perfect. one part of you lip to check your DNA and another from your chin let say that the answer would be the same 96.1%
so that you r not you, and ther are not you

Your mind isn't cloned the clone develops as a distinct individual.

You can only contol your own.
A clone of you would have a separate soul.
One soul cannot opperate in 2 bodies.
