Seems making an artificial soul would be much more difficult than salvaging some usable DNA from a hairbrush and running some genetic splicing Jurassic Park style. The problem with the idea of a Pyrrha clone is this, in detail:

1-You need to establish when did she get cloned, where did she get cloned, and why did she say yes? And how come it apparently never affected her emotionally, like the Maidens stuff did in comparison.

2-People don't literally leave their DNA everywhere, but the problem is that whatever DNA anyone manages to get of Pyrrha, will be way too small to make a clone. Don't compare it with Jurassic Park, since they at least had the fossils to get the DNA. A Fossil will have more DNA than a small fingerprint, a single hair, or a grain of ash.

3-Story-wise, it would be harder to explain how, when, where and why Pyrrha got cloned off-screen without anyone knowing or caring, or how could a clone be made from so little, possibly damaged DNA samples, than it would be to explain how Pyrrha is still alive.
