sorry for the threadjack
Probably won't happen because the gonads almost never occur both as male and female. That would require 2 sets, which at embryological development would be very unlikely. Not impossible, but highly improbable. Only one pair are made, and they are generally the same.

It still wouldn't be a clone because of meiosis, but if there are recessive congenital diseases in the genes, the probability of expression is high. That is the consequence.

What I understand to typically happen in a situation like this is the clitoris becomes a penis, the vagina is malformed or intact, and ovaries develop. There are several other possibilities but surgery is most likely required for correction in those cases, and now we are back to the issue at hand.

Tough call, I would say it depends on how the genitals formed. I would avoid surgery when possible, personally. I know if I was born with both, I would probably have a spankin good time
