Would You Clone Yourself?

[Jetfire]

And raise your clone???

How would that turn out??? Would your clone benefit from the knowledge you have about yourself??? Would your clone be more successful than you in life???

I am not sure it would be perfected anytime soon...but given the chance and the child would turn out healthy or as healthy as you...would you clone yourself???

 

[Niorah]

If the child turned out -healthier- than me, then yes, why not?
I like myself enough and am arrogant enough to want a little me running around. I think I'm -that- special.

 

[Rek]

No thanks if I'd have to raise it.

 

[Goji]

What exactly would the point of that be? It'd be a completely separate person, it'd just look like me. Lord knows the world doesn't need that.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Well, why not? It won't be different from raising any other child. The only difference from a biological offspring is that your clone would share your entire genetic make up instead of just half. No biggies.

 

[JonathonWally]

Hell yes, the world would be a better place for it.


Or collapse, one of those.

 

[RegFan]

No, but it would certainly be interesting to raise my own clone.

 

[trekkiedane]

Sure, I might need a new liver any day soon

 

[Goliath]

Damn right I'd clone myself.

Then, when I'm old and worn out from decades of debauchery, I'd have myself killed and harvest my organs.

It'd be like having a spare tire.

Exactly

I'd clone a female version of myself to be a Jane to my Adam, technically she would be my sister, but what the hell, I just wouldn't tell her.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

No.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

No, I think one of me is enough, thanks.

 

[Guartho]

Well, I was going to say "Hell yes, then we can give the wife a super-special evening..." then I realized you weren't talking about Hollywood-style insta-grown-ups.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

No. There can be only one!

 

[Kestra]

No, my personal combination of genetics has not proven to be all that great. I still want to have children, though.

 

[Goliath]

Damn right I'd clone myself.

Exactly

 

[auntiehill]

Oh, HELL no. I don't even like to see pictures of myself; why would I want to look at my clone?

 

[blaXXer]

Sure, I could harvest it for organs should the need arise.

 

[RandyS]

Yes, I'd clone myself. My greatest dream in life is having a person to have intelligent conversations with. Cloning myself seems to be the only way this will ever happen.

But, is the world ready for two of me? I don't think the rest of you could handle that much perfection and beauty. it's a miracle that exposure to ONE of me hasn't caused blindness.
