Identical twins have fingerprints that can be readily distinguished on close examination. However, the prints do have striking similarities. In fact, before the arrival of modern genetic testing, similarity of fingerprints was often used to determine whether twins were identical or fraternal.

That's correct, but being similar isn't identical. To get that, hedge, you'd have to be cloned in every detail.
