Clones have a short life span; and this is what happens when they break down. If you need any evidence that this was an "object" (as opposed to a person with a soul), watch the reaction of the crew and other performers. Remind you of when they chucked Hillary's malfunctioning clone into the SUV, or when Al Roker's shorted out, or Eminem's clone broke down on a sports show, or the one who crashed on Glenn Beck's show?

There is a ton of footage of these things being pushed beyond their limits, and the reactions of their handlers and "colleagues" speak volumes about how artificial they are.
