Vishal, there is no mystery here. It is just another sheep. It will
be occupied by a soul just as any other sheep form. The soul exists
prior and after the material body is prepared.

After the cloned sheep form is dead, that soul will then enter the body of
another species ... perhaps an aardvark, migrating in such a fashion for
eons and eons through 8,400,000 species until it comes to the human form.
Then, if fortunate it will awaken and try to find God.

Good Morning!
