Identical twins are true clones of each other, with the same genes.
So, the new discovery just announced from Edinburgh can't be all that radical in its moral and ethical implications. Heaven's foundations don't quiver every time a pair of identical twins is born. Nevertheless, two bees seem to be buzzing around in public bonnets. First, the new technique makes baby duplicates of an existing adult. We might, as it were, clone Stephen Hawking or Mother Teresa, and this is not the same thing as twins of the same age.
