Sorry to hear that James, but we do seem to have reached an unresolvable
(currently) impasse.

Yes. I'm also very curious to see how the recent cloning breakthrough
hastens our discovery of the answers to these questions. From what I
hear, identical twins are a sought after research commodity in the field
of behavioural science (for obvious reasons). Now that it seems we're
capable of producing them en masse with no restriction as to the number
of genetically identical subjects I think huge strides can be taken. It
can be argued that such experiments are unethical but *someone* will do
them, rest assured, and the most significant outcome of banning the
research is that the scientific community at large may never see the
results of the clandestine lab work.
