They aren't.

You do realize what the word clone means, right?

They said they may do just that but it's been a while and they still haven't, you are a silly and confused newbie who is clearly lost. Here you go newbie

Clones, Informorph Psychology skill, you get jump clones which serve as vessels, idea being you jump into a vessel of a different race / gender

I see no problem with race or gender changes as long as a name could never change. I'm sure most of us have thought about wanting to switch before, regretted our initial decision. It would also serve as an ISK sink, as in creating new clones of a different construction would cost potentially a bunch of ISK or even AUR, old clones of the unwanted race which have had implants installed would need to be destroyed and replaced as well for a complete change over.

Any respectable cloning company must take into account the physiological differences between the human races and bloodlines in existence. Each of them has unique DNA imprints that must be replicated so that the transfer process goes as smoothly and with as little deviances as possible. If done properly the unique characteristics and traits that each bloodline has can be kept intact. This is very important during the brain growth process (see below), as the memory restoration is closely linked to the exact neuro-strata layout of the brain tissue, which varies greatly from one bloodline to the next.
