    Wait.. which one was I? The logical one or the conspiracy theorist? Lol


    At any rate, how did we come to the conclusion that an exact clone of yourself would be evil?

    And is the majority okay with creating clones so that they are lesser beings as we? And then even using them for things that we would not want to use ourselves on?

    Do we really believe that they would be soulless?

    ivf kids are from a sperm and a egg - a completely different matter altogether.
    The child is not identical nor has the same genetic material as either parent.

    I agree that it is a very emotionally and debatable subject and one that isnt simple to address.

    I certainly don't agree with it for the purpose of creating armies.


    Agree in that extending life could be considered "playing God," but

    Treating a heart attack or cancer or a trauma victim is using the abilities that God gave us to serve others.

    If you did not mean the latter - sorry:o

    Just because we may have the ability to do it does not mean it would be ethhical as so many have pointed out or like jvibe 101 asks.


    Perhaps cloning of organs for transplant, I might consider.

    Honestly, if there was a clone of myself, I would want to be the one to control it.

    If there was a clone of me I would make him test the milk to see if it went sour. Oh yea... and mow the yard, and wash the car, and clean the basement. He would also be required to sit around listening to the ole lady talk and talk and talk and talk while I'm out at Hooters shooting Jeager Miester bombs.

    No I got it. I get all your points. Sometimes it takes me a good nights sleep and a smoke of the hoochie but I eventually get them..

    I was just coming up with more tasks for the Mag clone. What would he be called?

    Ill take 3. 1 for each wife. I have to to treat them each equally.

    What's the use? You need to take care of all three of them at once... all by yourself. It's not fair to put that kind of responsibility on a simple clone. Things can go wrong. Bad things.

    L0L!
    I'm not sure who was logic and who was conspiracy, but either way both sides were very wise. Magprob, you've got the right idea making your clone do your chores and busying your wife while you're at Hooters. Frankly, I'd like to hve a magprob of my own:p haha!

    Then you can't have a clone. I know you would mistreat it.
