basic biology - unless you expose them to radiation the DNA is going to 
stay the same in the identical twins even though some of the morphological 
metrics may change. so the solution to the twins might be to do the base 
dna and generate an id number for the clone (that is what id twins are 
after all) and then get modified number from some morpological 
differentiated aspect that is not going to change much (not weight for 
example). or you could do what cattle and hog breeders do and put 
different notches in their ears for each twin :-)

if you use enough radiation to change the dna then you will probably kill 
the twin so the problem becomes irrelevant :-)
