Would You Clone Yourself?

[trekkiedane]

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

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

Welcome to the club

 

[Mike Farley]

I wouldn't bother with organ harvesting. I'd just have my brain transplanted into the newer, younger clone.

Then order another new clone.

 

[Goliath]

The problem is, they haven't yet figured out how to transplant brains without leaving the patient paralyzed from the neck down.

What's the point of having a healthy young body if you can't move?

Mary Roach has an interesting chapter on Soviet experiments with head transplants in her book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers. I have always wondered if that chapter was the inspiration for the second X-Files movie.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

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

You're so funny!!

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.

I love you, you know that, right?


No, i wouldn't clone myself. I suspect my clone would be a real pain in the ass and a difficult teenager as i was. I gave my parents hell. I don't need to deal with that.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Maybe you wouldn't clone yourself, YR, but *I* might clone you.

 

[Cornholio]

umm, no. I like bein' the one and only original me.

besides, me and my clone would probably like, fight all the time. I wouldn't wanna have to kick his ass everyday and stuff.

 

[Ashu]

I don't want to have to babysit myself even more than i do already

 

[scotpens]

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.

Your clone couldn't be female.

But you know that, right?

They say that clones are just what we need
They cloned a sheep and now they're cloning seed
They say the hungry masses they will feed
But they're doing it to satisfy their greed.

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get cloned!

They're cloning all the cows down on the farm
They're cloning drugs to keep us safe from harm
They're cloning the consumers at the mall
And their doubling their profits every fall

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get cloned!

They’re cloning herbicide-resistant beans
They're splicing elephants with tangerines
This cloning thing is getting pretty big
They've even cloned a nitrogen-fixing pig.

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get cloned!
