I tried to make my avatar look as much like me as possible, but my hair is much longer. I am not pretending. If you go and read my Q & A on my profile, thats pretty much my feelings, character and personality. Why pretend? My pic or name is not posted. So therefore, a person can really feel comfortable in being there true self. Well....at least i will.

Thx for asking such an intriguing question :-)\n\n---\n\n@ if i could clone one alive person: myself! :-)\n\nAnd if I could, I would clone myself dozens of times lol.\nWell, when I meet my first baby-clone, I would feel like as glad as I was father of a natural baby.\n\nI don't think I would try to see myself in this new-born being, because I consider he is a human above all, a baby that needs protection & care like any other baby.\n\nHis mother & I would be very glad about this birth :-) - because he is our baby, not because he has the same genetic material as mine.\n\nGiven that I am 35, there would be a big age difference between me and "my" "clone" -baby. I definitely think he doesn't "belong" to me. He is not "my" clone.\nBecause of this big age-difference, i dont think i would see him as a twin. I am almost sure i would consider him as my son, simply, and that his mother is my wife :-)\n\nBut I think i will behave in a different way when he becomes a child, without a baby face anymore, because I think i will see lots of similarities with the way I look.\n\nOn the other hand, i am almost sure that he wouldn't have the same "identity" as mine.\n\nI think that i would be even more attentive to him because i would also feel like facing my own inner-child...\n\n- and well, I like my inner-child :-)\n\nI would clone myself many times (if my wife agrees lol), because when they are adults, I want to go with them downtown, like a tribe a twins, scaring people in the street lol: see John Malkovich lol.\n\n---\n\n@ If we could clone one dead person:\n\nGosh, I have absolutely no idea... I don't see any dead person I would like to clone.\n\nWell, this may mean that:\n\n- i don't miss any dead person I knew to the point of cloning him/her. Mourning done;\n\n- i don't see any dead human i would clone because of what his/her charism would bring to our planet\n\nand right now, I am very glad to have such an opinion! I feel freed from any religious & spiritual beliefs about "super-beings".

sure, but that doesn't mean that the child is going to be exactly me.  We are formed by our environments, if I get a lot of sun that may mean that I am going to have a lot of moles and freckles, but my clone wouldn't.  The clone also would probably eat a lot better than I did when I was little, so they would develop better than I did, meaning that they could end up taller, fatter, bustier, and all that.  \nI am also unique by the childhood that I have, many of my ideas and mental characteristics were formed due to my upbringing but my clone would not have the same upbringing, so they may be much smarter or dumber than I or they may be republican, I don't know.

An entire human is cloned, but if you're asking if the brain will be the same in terms of the knowledge that it holds the answer is no.  Cloning makes a copy of genetics--the instructions that are stored as to how to make us physically.  The information our brains hold is all a matter of experiences encountered.  \nThis is a question of nature vs. nurture.  Our genetics do have implications as to how we think, but the way we are brought up, down to very minute details form who we are, and because it's very hard to mimic the same exact conditions that a person had growing up, it would be next to impossible to clone somebody who would think exactly like the original person.

I wish i was someones toy

I would not want cloning after I die for the simple reason that there is only one of me. However for a clone to be me it would have to have my memories, my talents, my thoughts, etc. ,the clone would look like me but have a completely different life than I, so if they could take out the weaknesses from my genes and make a clone that doesn't have any major health problems I would consider letting them clone me after I die.

You would be an artificial tree with that name.

only if i was horribly burned or something. i do think appearance helps make you who you are, but you should be happy with your natural one.

What if they werent clones? What if it were all the work of the original?\n    I think I would find that far more amusing than random people cloning him

I think you could only if you integrated the necessary necromantic rituals into the cloning process.  You could clone the tissue, but it would grow as a living creature.  You'd then have to euthanize it and then raise it from the dead.

The problem I have is with the cloning process.  Most clones fail or are deformed.  We cannot subject the clones to half-as_ed technology which might cause them to suffer.\n\nBut other than that, I don't see a problem with clones.
