That's not entirely true, DNA or RNA sequences have been thought to contain the very primal behaviors of a species - the drive to survive and such. For example, even a just born baby knows what hunger is when in fact he's never eaten before, and it has been shown that the can swim too! (wow, i actually remembered something from biology). The only way to find out would indeed be to clone it.

Just curious as too yur answers, if they could clone just a body part, like a liver, heart or lungs from stem cells would that be just as bad?

And who knows, maybe the movie "The Island" could one day become a reality
