Jenny made a big impact on the Doctor’s way of thinking. He repeatedly tells her throughout the episode that she’s not real. She says that she has a mind, body, and independent thought. If that doesn’t make a person, what does? After this, he treads carefully around clones, ‘the people who aren’t people.’ Jenny teaches him that all life is sacred even if it comes from weird places at times. It was really important for him to learn, because it becomes something that he struggles with when it’s Amy, Clara, and Rory. He treats each of them and stranger’s clones very differently.
Amy. He kills her Ganger as soon as she finds out that she’s a Ganger. He does this right after helping the stranger’s gangers to get basic rights. To be fair, she was fully connected to the real Amy and would’ve been ‘killed’ soon. Either way, barely any sympathy besides telling the ‘real’ her that they were on their way. In the timeline mix-up, he just wants ‘his’ Amy back. He grabs younger Amy and locks his original Amy outside to die. He doesn’t care if her others get hurt. He hates change. If that meant killing(deleting?) an older(extra traumatized) Amy to get ‘his’ back, he didn’t care.
Rory. How many times does he die? :) I’m kidding. He’s nicer when it comes to Rory’s. Rory dies, but a version of him gets created from Amy’s subconscious. The Nestene clone was a perfect copy besides the weapons. The Doctor then helps him get closer to Amy. It’s only because it would make Amy happy. He wasn’t as close with Rory yet. Later on, he would’ve cared more about the fact that it was Rory that he was helping though. Second, it felt less like taking advantage if the real Rory didn’t exist anymore and she might be able to bring him back. The risk was worth the reward.
Clara. He meets an infinite number of Claras throughout his entire life. He never truly noticed her until he met Oswin. A human girl in a Dalek ship somehow survived and saved him. Another version of her in Victorian London. Both dying to save him. Her soul ripped into infinite pieces to save a person that’s completely immortal. Each of them’s last words, “Run you, clever boy, and remember me.” He loves and grieves every version of her that he meets. The Claras who will die forever for him.
The Doctor is an incredibly possessive and obsessive with the people he loves. He also hates change. In the end, he always picked the person or situation that was the closest to his desires. The younger Amy even though the other was the original. He cared about each Clara individually. But when he was allowed to be around her without her dying in an hour, their relationship was about to destroy the universe. The Doctor has vastly different reactions to clones or clone-like types. It really really depends on the person and situation
