Bart:

The clone might be produced by replacing the DNA in a fertilized egg cell
with the DNA of the person to be cloned. Then the egg cell is implanted into
a human womb. If it lives and grows as an embryo, a human body is produced,
behind which is a human Ego of some kind.

When this happens, if it were to succeed, I wonder if at the time of cloning
the previously incarnating human is cut lose and another takes its place.

A more natural example of cloning would be when a fertilized egg cell splits
on its own, producing identical twins. One of the two twins would be the
original incarnating entity. The other would be taken up by a different
human coming into birth.

Regardless of the physical method used to produce the body, including normal
sexual reproduction, if the body lives, it houses a human Ego. (An obvious
exception, of course, would be a body that is brain dead, comatose, and
needing artificial support to stay alive.)
