In the way you are thinking you would be resurrecting them not reincarnating them. If you are reincarnated that means you can come back as anything from a fly to a person.

No. We are creating a physiological duplicate that will be an individual just like any other new born. Reincarnation via cloning would require some sort of neural copying of a person's experiences, memories, etc. and implanting on the clone.

That depends on where you believe the soul resides. As we have not clones a human being to actually study the personality and habits of a cloned human we have no idea if they would be "reincarnated" so to speak. It's an interesting topic though that would lead into the nature versus nurture debate on personality though. You can read twin studies on this as well. Really interesting.

No, in reincarnation one comes back (if you believe in this) as something other than they were before. Either another person or Hindus believe even animals. DNA clone would be an exact copy of yourself.

I don't think so. You're scientifically creating a twin, but it has become increasingly clear that identical twins are not identical. They have their own spirits and souls.
That being said, from a spititualist's point of view, reincarnation is a matter of the spirit and soul of a being on this plane, so logically the answer is no.

No, simply because there would be a different soul placed inside that body. The body is just a vehicle to carry the soul or spirit around in. Like someone else said.... identical twins are an example.

No, you would be making a physical copy of that person's genetic traits.
Reincarnation refers to the soul, not the body.

No, because it would then also be possible to have a clone and the original person alive at the same time.

No. From what I've studied in reincarnation it has to do with spirit, not body.

Of course we are not reincarnating them.
