Actually, if anything is "magical sci-fi clone nonsense", it's the idea that clones do come complete with memories and personality.

For that matter, the whole "clone degradation" thing is pretty much made up too, although there's reason to believe that clones do have shorter life spans (and clones of clones even more so, but that's another story).
