Why?  You seem to be assuming that all the clones will be identical as
adults.   There is no reason for them to be, unless all are raised
identically.  Dental records?  Some grow up drinking flouridated water,
others (on wells) do not.  One or two will be in an accident (maybe
bicycle) and lose teeth.  Etc.   Body scars?  *All* are acquired in the
course of individual growing-up experiences, and each should be unique.
Weight may depend in part on genes, but also on childhood diets.  I'd
expect a few of the clones to be lighter or heavier than most of them.
