Would you clone yourself?
456073
If I was to clone myself, I would do it for different reasons. There is no way that I would put my life over someone else's...at least that is how I think now...I do think it would be cool to have another one of me...My clone would have my twisted mind just with maybe some different life experiences. I think that it would be pretty cool to philosophize with my differently same self. I think that a person could really learn a lot about themselves from such an experience. Just think of what you would be about if you lived in a third world country, or lived life as a king, or you had different parents, or you eat different food, smelled different things, knew different people, or so on...I think that the answer is that there is no real knowing what you would really be about...I think that there is a lot to be said about what you could learn. They say that some people that get amnesia act completely different then before it, and with no sign of any real brain trauma...by that I mean that they are actually the same person, genes and all, just missing some of the life experiences that made them the way they were...this would go to prove that a person is completely capable of change as long as they understand that their mind is their own and all they need to do is control how it "looks" or uses its stimulus...Meaning that we are really not predisposed to be anything and all we need to do is see things the way we need to see things to become what we want to be...

No, a clone would be exactly like an identical twin (though with a clone the two may be different ages).  Though there are a lot of reports of twins feeling when the other is hurt or dies, most twins interviewed claim this has never happened to them.  Regardless, even in those that claim to be able to "feel" the other's pain, there is no damage or lasting effect.  There of course may be psychological damage if, for example, you were raising your clone as a child or were close to them (as identical twins often are)-depression, grief, etc, but that is quite normal.

I think there is nothing wrong with cloning. It is just creating an exact copy of someone's body, it isn't going to replicate their mind. If someone cloned Hitler, it would look like Hitler but it wouldn't actually be him. The clone would need to be raised under the exact same circumstances, and even then, he might react differently to his surroundings. It's like how twins look alike, but don't have the same personality. If they ever decided to clone humans, I'd volunteer to be a test subject, as long as I didn't have to raise my clone.

i believe a clone would be a person in all aspects that you and i are a person.  they hold the same genetic code, function with the same life processes, etc etc. therefore, in my opinion, an embryonic clone should be treated as an embryonic original. it doesn't matter how they were created, they were still created.

Advantages-  Blood transfusions would come from your clone\n             and not strangers.\n\n             Chance for you to weigh out your options.\n             Ever wonder what would have happened if you \n             would have taken a different path.  Your clone\n             could do it for you.\n\n             Organ transplant on hand.\n\nDisadvantages-  Its like playing God.  Just shouldn't be \n                done.\n\n                Clone could turn out to be an evil twin and\n                try to steal your life.  They are not \n                robots, ya know.\n\n                One of me is enough!

Are you copying Darwin's questions?

Actually the answer for cloning is also no. If we were to clone a human the baby would not grow in a lab. The embryo would still be implanted in to a women just like baby's being born via in vitro fertilization.

Create a new one, or just do what the person above me said

how can you clone what cant be seen ?

Not.\n\nI doubt one could ever have the same relationship with the cloned being as you did with the original. What if the relationship sucked and totally taints the memory of the original? What if the original had a sucky life and the cloned is condemned to it all over again? And the fear and grief of eventually losing that person all over again, just isn’t worth it. \n\nSome things are best as originals.

i would not ask that type of question. if your going to be a real hacker you would do it on your own.

I would have certain parts of me cloned, if I needed new ones, e.g. liver, kidney etc.

if you had a brain would you use it?

No its impossible. The DNA is completely different, and plus cloning was banned by the Geneva Convention a couple of years ago I believe. But if your like the other groups and you want to try it, have at it. But if you do clone it together, dont tell the press or you might just end up going to prison.
