remember the movie the island? suppose a clone is made who is exactly like you, in the movie they feed their brains with artificial memories, suppose those memories were the exac rplica of your own. so in effect, there will be no difference between th two of you, so the clone will think he/she is you, and you cannot blame him/her.
suppose your clone come along one day to your house and says he is not a clone but the "real" one and you are the cloone. ofcourse he is wrong as you know you are not a clone. but think again, he too thinks he is the real one and not the clone, so whats the difference between you and him, so maybe you are the clone?

For all I know, there's one already. It's a big world.
If he's like me, he'll just move somewhere else, and live the rest of his life as his own, and let me do the same. If there's a momento he wants, I'm sure we can reach an agreement (but I keep the signed Lynyrd Skynyrd album!)
Every moment that passed (passes) after the cloning will make him a different person, and I doubt we'd resemble ourselves much in just a few years.

I would still possess a soul that is different from his,The spirit is the intellect of the soul, the soul is one's "self", our thinking process which makes us all different from each other.You can't clone a spirit which we all possess, and it's different from everyone elses'. Besides that ,he would obviously have very different memories from mine unless he grew up experiencing my exact memories as a result of my life and what is happening around me, which is impossible because he would not.
Take two identical twins, they grow up side by side but still evolve into two very different personalities as a result of the slight differences in their perceptions of what is happening around them, or how they are interacted with by anyone who they come in contact with.

Because environment plays a role, there are ways to determine. For example, just because someone is my clone, that does mean that clone would have my tattoos. :)

well i havent seen that movie but im sure it ended up in the two trying to kill each other or some hilarious struggle or whatever...
me and my clone would be able to talk things out. itd be nice having someone sane to talk to for once.

I don't think we would feel any differently about each other than identical twins do.
