I am myself not quite sure yet what would make a real clone after all.
No cell in our body shares an exact duplicate genome sequence to any other cell anyhow. This is because you will find at least 1 point mutation per cell division. It is likely that the mutation frequency of repeated base pairs is much higher yet. At the pretty size of the human genome, science will not be able to provide better proof-reading facilities than nature has evolved to date for centuries to come.
For all this there is never an identical copy or "genetic clone" possible.
As this ever-changing genetic load is what makes your phenocopy, there is no such thing as cloning especially on a molecular scale.
