"Give her another chance at life"
The "her" you refer to no longer exists, and never will again (at least in this sector of the multiverse).
What he would be giving "another chance at life" to would be a wholly distinct organism that happens to share the same DNA.

Just imagine... you're a perfectly normal young girl growing up in a middle-class household -- you probably told that these people raising you are your aunts and uncles. But then one day your family decides you're old enough to be told the truth -- you're a clone of their mother, who was murdered by their father. Your purpose in life is to be happy in order to make up for the long-dead woman who shares your DNA. No thanks, I'd much rather take the genetic lottery. And this is why I oppose human cloning -- I can't think of any circumstances in which growing up as a clone of someone else (probably someone much older) wouldn't suck.
- thwarted 16y agoEver see Anna to the Infinite Power? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_to_the_Infinite_Power http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_to_the_Infinite_Power Other than the specific circumstances of the mother being murdered by the father, that's kind of close to the plot of this movie. The movie also some pretty weird ideas about what cloning is.
