If I clone myself and my clone goes through the exact experiences and interactions I go through, I think both I and my clone will have exact same consciousness.

If I clone myself and my clone goes through the exact experiences and interactions I go through, I think both I and my clone will have exact same consciousness. Cloning because thats the only way to ensure my exact replica of DNA sequence in someone else. If a person that is born naturally and subjected to all the same experiences and interactions, that may not result in exact same consciousness as both bodies may have different tolerance to something(for example some allergy) and hence may not experience the same thing and so their consciousness would probably diverge there. So no soul. But still my natural offspring will start of from seed energy, half of which is from my body and other half from my partner. Its possible that only natural born twins will only have the exact same consciousness if subjected to exact same experiences. This is because we may accumulate information in our DNA over our life time. So a clone will be starting of with that information as opposed to comparatively clean slate I started off with. Or may be the accumulated info will only be written to sperm cells or ovum. Information is either passed down this way or its just a totally random mutation(or DNA shuffling) that produces new feature adaptations that causes evolution.
