It would be like killing a brother or sister. I'd clone myself to find out what I was like to kiss. Perverted I know, but I'd like to know...

Ha ha

Neither. The mere thought of seeing "multiplicities" of others, gives me the creeps. Variety is best.

Edit:
**artificial multiplicities***
Twins, triplets, etc are another matter (I'm a twin!)

Because I plan to rule the world and I need back up copies in case I get killed, I'd make sure that I have at least a dozen clones in hidden locations all over the world and one on the moon just in case.

I think we need to think about population control before we start adding clones to the equation here. :)

what I meant was not if she would be the same physically but spiritually and personality wise. Why a deceased one? Well cause some people lose loved ones and want them, them. Would I do it? I dunno but I know one part of me would want that person back so much that I would think about it.

latinocool79 said, "Would you clone another "you" or a deceased loved one?"
Why would somebody clone a deceased loved one? So they can have two deceased loved ones?

latinocool79 said, "I think I would clone my wife but would she be the same?"
Of course she would be the same, If she wasn't the same, then she wouldn't really be a clone. :)

Holy Crap you are right

I think the paradox is any cloned human would be an "Immaculate conception"

latinocool79 on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

latinocool79 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:21:15 -0500

If Jesus were cloned than a Universal Paradox would be created and we would actually be terminated instantly. This is if Christianity is right. If not well, it would just be another day.

ekim941 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:10:54 -0500

You don't see a problem in creating a man made religious figure? Isn't that a false prophet? So, you would have a genetic Jesus with an entirely different upbringing. Sounds like a "Lemmings to the sea" scenario.

Cloning body parts ey.....

Ah, but Kevin, would it be cost effective? Chelle brings up a good point, those clones are a bit expensive to make....

SO if Jesus were cloned, would that mean Armageddon or something is on the way? :D

latinocool79 on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

latinocool79 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:01:36 -0500

well, remember that you would have to wait until your copy get to an age where he can play the guitar. Maybe it would be a grandson-grandpa kinda group :)

latinocool79 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:14:11 -0500

I am not for it but eventually they will do it and people won't adopt and have less babies. No more down syndromes or malformations (I guess). I don't think it is sick I just agree with some about the freaky part.

On another note, what if the Turin shroud, which is supposed to have covered Jesus, has some DNA. Now that would be real freaky to clone.

Mmmmm. A definite no. It would be tempting to clone my wife or my cats, but they would not be the same. The personality is help to form by experiences and choices. Once those are changed, the personality will also be changed. That would be truly depressing if you were to give the go ahead to cloning someone you love and they were not the same. I wouldn't clone myself either. Too freaky. Not even for the extra body parts in the future that I might need for health reasons. That's really sick, man.

only if I could make an army of hot slave chicks that would obey my every command.

I had a conversation by phone with very dear friend that lives at the other side of the world that I hadn't seen for a long time, I was running through a lot of concepts about life and other intersting subjects and at the end of it she said to me that they should pickle my brain and use it in the future and for experiments. But I guess with the concept of cloning it would be much easier to just copy the whole person.

DrowseyMonkey — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:44:46 -0500

If I was looking for free labour I wouldn't clone myself ... I'm kinda lazy. But other than that, I do think I'm clone worthy.

acousticguitarist on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

Oh myself of course, then I could do very cool guitar duets and sing harmonies

cold - heartless. Cmon your only hurting yourself and not really. Oh yeah - thank what you could get away with - wasn’t you!

offendedblogger on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

offendedblogger — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:21:39 -0500

That is cold and heartless.

Hmmm.. but tempting. I am all for cheap labor. :)

kevingoodman on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

kevingoodman — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:18:05 -0500

but think of what you could accomplish 100 times made over!

and once you made the accomplishment you just terminate them - right becasue you are the real you.

offendedblogger on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

offendedblogger — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:11:51 -0500

No because the cost would be undoubtedly higher than I am willing to pay, plus I agree with what Anok said, it is just way too creepy in general!

kevingoodman on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

kevingoodman — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:11:24 -0500

Yes I would take alot of clones - free labor....I would be working myself really hard.

Anok on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

Anok — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:02:42 -0500

Hmmm. NO to cloning in general.

That stuff freaks me out *shudder*

latinocool79 on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

latinocool79 — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:26:30 -0500

All the nature vs nurture discussion. I believe in God so it is hard to figure out how this person's soul would be like. Of course if you believe in such a thing. My spiritual side says it is a no no to do it but my gut would want my wife, or son back so much.

neobluepanther on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'

neobluepanther — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:23:05 -0500

I don't think I would like to clone myself.

A loved one...perhaps.

But, if I did that, I would be prepared to accept that the "clone" could be a whole new person, personality-wise.

Naturalwoman on 'Would you clone yourself or a loved one?'
