"Recollection of past life" might just happen to be coincidence of a parallel "experience" though not truly experience per se. Like someone having the same thoughts like one of us and doing similar things like one of us. It is different persons doing the same thing.
Sometimes everyone of us may find some environment quite familiar though we are unable to recall if we have been to the same place or similar circumstances. Many times we can swear that we have not been to a certain place and yet we are in a familiar situation. Some people would say this could be manifestation of past lives. But all these cannot be solid proof unless someone really come back from history and tell you everything about his past and all these can be proven by historians or from records.
Scientists can disprove prove a lot of things..
But the possibility of reincarnation or consciousness transfer is something which presently perplexes
many scientists.
This because of the existence of innumerable genuine cases of unexplained and amazing
behaviour in persons, young and old, throughout the world which can only be logically explained by a
belief in reincarnation and/or consciousness transfer from a past life.
Continuity in consciousness and contnuity in personality should not alter the thinking of the same first creature or being since we may be talking about the same "person". Of course this is only suggesting that there is a soul in the human body.

If eternal life, meaning forever living, or afterlife meaning living again after bodily death can be accepted by science as indisputable, then consciousness of the "new" life would most likely be the same since by equation it is a contiunity.
We as as we are, can only 'think' that much, and always according to the limits of our experience, reasoning and 'morals'...
What science can discover tomorrow and thereafter is really beyond our limited expectation.
For what you know, the ancient scriptures may well be a record of things far in advance of our present knowledge.
For instance, the concept of 'eternal life' as mentioned in some ancient scriptures, may well mean the same person's consciousness
is transferable from one body to another. new body, ad infinitum...

The way we think and how we act or react in a situation are determined by our past experiences that we learn from. Knowledge makes a person wiser and past experiences provide that knowledge for future decision making. A person will know right from wrong if he has sufficent knowledge through learning or experience.

Even if you are a clone of your own, your thinking will be different from the original self. You will still have different personalities. Impossible to be 100 percent same thinking, even if living under similar environment. Think it is like that.
If cloning a sheep and a dog is already 'kid's stuff', I am sure in future, a way will be discovered to transfer
human consciosuness too...
We must not think we are very advanced and already know everything...
Only just a few decades ago, space travel, computers and the Internet were unthinkable concepts...

I know little abt cloning, but i thk it is exactly the same body , so if organ tranplant got no problem of rejection...but what abt the software...i means the brain, the emotion, the memory..are they the same also???thanks

Yup... you and I will never know...
Unless we can somehow live long enough and can then afford to be cloned too... hehehe...
Well, it may not be too far-fetched, since 'eternal life' as we now know it could well mean
'clone' in the first place...

original is unique .....
original brings novelty ....
will the clones bring creativity .... ? or will it repeat itself ... something like re-play .... it will boring then .... humans thrive on new things and novelty .... will the clones bring that ? ....
after their peak ... did the originals make any new break through ? .... they just lived off their 'golden work' .... how better would the clones do than the originals.... mmm ..we will never know .... !
If indeed Elvis and Jacko were to be cloned some time in the future, they must make sure both are put through the best music schooling that exists at that time...
Cloning is not sc-fi any more... it is already reality...
It will be almost certainly be a routine undertaking of the not too distant future...

Cannot agree with iPunter more.

Yes, he's one of the few unique and good persons to have existed in this world and he deserves to live forever.
May he live again... may his DNA be preserved for future cloning.
But the one who destroyed his good reputation by deceiving him and then presenting his loving nature out of context
in the media should rot forever in fires of hell....
