To achieve inmortality?

[Bugamerka]

I wouldn't. I'd prefer to be absolutely unique, and I'm not obsessed with immortality, so why would i clone myself? I see no point in that...

Living for so long you can reach an impressive capacity of intelligence, on everything

[MilenaJaf]

No, the clone is not "me" it is merely a copy. My life will not be extended by this.

I think cloning is inevitable. What could be more fascinating, and productive, than raising your own clone? What a huge advantage a cloned child would have to be raised and nurtured by a parent who is genetically identical to him/her.

This is true.

This is true.

If the child has the exact same DNA as me then nothing has changed, the bloodline has not moved, but has stagnated. I would much rather combine my DNA with another human than simply produce a copy of myself which has not progressed from the experiences the original body went through. I think cloning as a means of reproduction would be counter productive to the development of humans as a species.

@Indocentrist: I sure hope not, the world is overpopulated as it is...especially India :P Y'all don't need to start cloning each other

How would cloning help you achieve immortality? Basically another individual with your precise genetic makeup would live for decades after you die until he/she eventually died as well....? Or am i misunderstanding the question?

That is the point: you can teach your clone what you have learned from your experiences and you know that it will apply to it far better than to a child that is not genetically identical to you.

And what if your brain is transfered to the new body? That would be cool

That just doesn't work, lol.

Thread fail.

[HwoRas1]

Cloning isn't really the most natural thing. I wouldn't do it.. lol

[CibQueersejer]

I'd clone all of my body except my brain :] then just do a brain transfer every 30 years

[Rategbee]

Freaky! Mmhh I'm not sure tbh.

That sounds pretty cool ill probably do the same i heard g bush clone himself

Perhaps, but the person in question would have to have a clear understanding of themselves, from the times they were young up until the present. I do not think someone with a skewed perception of themselves would be able to benefit their clone more so than they could a naturally created child.

No!

I already know, as he does, that we'd fight to the death for Supremacy… it would suck.
