Cloning Yourself

[cptjack42]

Make 365 of them. That way we would each only have to do 1 day of work a year and spend the rest of the year pillaging shit.

clones are bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO NONONONONONONONONONONONONONO

Well what people arnt realising s this:

A clone of you wouldn't have your personality. To do that it would've had to have lived your life first.

DNA only holds the blue prints for a body. Not the details like experiencal memory etc. It'd simply be a stranger who looks exactly like you.

 

[Yegargeburble]

I would force it do do all my work while I did literally whatever I would feel like doing.

I wouldn't want an actual clone of myself, unless I were to download my brain into a younger body. But even then, I'd probably want a tripped-out cybernetic body and not a duplicate of the one I already have.

 

[Inverse Skies]

I wouldn't want a clone of myself, the ethical dilemma it raises is huge. Also the idea of just having it there as a supply of organs if you ever needed a new one is downright creepy... I love the idea of stem cell research and using that research to cure degenerative disorders such as Huntingtons/MS but not the idea of cloning per se, it just crosses the line a little too much. Besides, clones of animals have already shown us their more likely to have birth defects and die of an early age of congenital abnormalities, I wouldn't want to wish those sorts of things upon my clone.

I don't think that cloning myself means that the clone will be exactly like me. Maybe in appearance, and even that might vary (might be more fit, less fit, more hair, etc.) So I would mess with people and pretend he was my twin.

 

[JMeganSnow]

Um, why does a clone = property? Identical twins are clones of each other, but the one doesn't own the other or vice versa.

I wouldn't want a clone of myself. I'm nothing special genetically so it probably wouldn't be worth the effort. Now, cloning specific body parts might make sense, but not a full-on clone.

the only reason we don't have human cloning now is because of stupid moral beliefs. Clones are not duplicates, they're genetic duplicates, sure, but they the lack psychological component. And don't give me that genetic memory bullcrap because I don't know anyone who remembers anything from their great grandparents' lives, let alone further back... stupid assassin's creed and its genetic memory bullcrap...

 

[Gestapo Hunter]

makes sure the clone doesn't have a belly button

why would we want human cloning? we have an over population problem as it is, why in the world would we want to make more humans?

aye, but not the moral disputes I'm reffering to. those would be the "oh noes we're playing god" and the "what if they clone another hilter" fronts

 

[RH3INLAND.]

Transplant my mind into the clone on my deathbed, so I may live again! *evil laughter*

--Insert obligatory sex-with-self joke--

Thats what I constantly tell my boy is if i ever had a clone, he'd never see me. I'd only leave the bedroom for work. oh and he might occasionally get invited to join.


Apart from that. I'd have a gaming partner and finish hooking up my other computer and rebuilding it so we could play online.
