Not if I have to raise my clone, because I hate all children, even myself as a child. So only if he spits out at the same age I am with all my memories or something. Otherwise he'd just be like a son I never wanted.
Other then that, sure! I'd name him Popsicle and we could sip coffee and be bored together :jess:
But Popsicle best not take my things without asking :mad2: *shakes fist*
Nah, to scarey and my clone might be evil or something bad about me seen i'm nice, and god made us so i don't want to have another me walking around doing the stuff i would never do :(
My answer is no to the thought of creating an identical me.
My answer to a the idea of harvesting body parts and the like - absolutely.
I thought you'd decided to leave forever? O_o
No, I wouldn't like to be cloned. Although it would help me out in certain situations (see the Simpsons Halloween Special with the cloned Homer episode to see what I mean).
God no, one of me is enough!
Is a clone you? or is it a seperate entity? If you kill your clone, is it suicide or homicide? And if you have sex with it, would that be masturbation? Would it be incest? Would it be fair to have a sports team made solely of clones of one good player? Could you marry your clone (assuming gay marriage is legal)?
Cloning whole people really serves no purpose ultimately, however I have no ideological problems with it.
When it comes to body parts, however, while I, again, have no ideological problems with it, I do have business problems. As a cyberneticist in training, every cloned limb or organ takes away from the market share in robotic or mechanical limbs and organs. Every limb or organ that is cloned costs me money.
It's bad enough that most people seem to have problems with having bionic parts, give them a biological alternative, and I'm screwed.
Still. As a scientist, although I have a vested interest in a rival field, I cannot and will not attempt to deny progress in the field. If it ruins me, so be it. That's the price of progress.
But really. Who'd rather have a weak, greasy human limb rather than a clean, efficient, incredibly powerful cybernetic limb, or instead of a heart, a mechanical pump powered by your own bio-electricity, or, when the technology is sufficiently developed, have your immune system replaced by a system of nanomodules that not only protect the body, they repair cellular damage.
I think I know what I'd rather have.
I guess it would make life a lot easier to have two of me. Hellish for the world if we were having a "high" at the same time, unless it doesn't have my bi-polarity.
no... first off human cloneing can go wrong. The clone could come out deformed or just evil. Also dont u think if u make it do ALL ur work for you while you relax. That it wont just kill you? here you think. Imagine yourself as a nobody, you dont have a mother and have no purpose. You wish to enjoy life, but another person that is just like u. Makes you do every single job while the take the rewards. Wouldnt you kill that person and act like your the real person and not the clone?
think about it... besides there is only one of you in this world, that makes us all specail. If there were two, then your not specail and everyone else is..
For me, it's a crystal-clear no.
Cloning all of me? No thanks. Cloning a set of new lungs if I smurfed up the ones I have, yes please.
It'd be like an identical twin. Marriage shouldn't be allowed, I think, and killing it would be homicide.Quote:

I already HAVE been cloned! Tinker's stole my hair and sent it to Loony BoB which means I have clones out there somewhere!
I can barely stand one of me :bigsmile:
True :( Two Ice Angels would be too bad!Quote:
