Is cloning ethical?

I don't know Ladies,
You know if I had a clone of myself & I was the original, I should have control of him. Whenever my wife told me to do something I didn't want to do, I could just have my clone do it. Now that could backfire on me & he could take my place, then I could be on the outside looking in.
Then I wouldn't have my very sweet wife that is always there for me.
Well Whada ya think?
An added PS: Just my luck my clone body would be in perfect health at 67years of age! Sad

O well!!

nobby,
that's even worse. imagine a substitute that looked and acted just like you, in perfect health(that's one of the reasons for cloning isn't it?)living your life while you watched. or maybe going out and doing criminal stuff and they arrested you. i just can't think of any good reason to clone anything. i know they want animals for food but that's not a good enough reason. and medicine and things like that can be done synthetically.

They made a movie just like that, nobby with michael keaton. I think it was called Multiplicity. It was quite funny. Very Happy

be sure to include a female clone. mojo and i might want a few new parts too. i figure male parts are like male clothing; they wouldn't fit right. Laughing

Shoot! That means I'm going to have to carry a large inventory, of female
parts! Their so picky, you know. They'll be fussin' about the size, the color & if it looks good on them or fits good in them. Maybe I should prepare for a much larger business.

you're right we would be picky, especially about the color. you couldn't put a bright green arm on a purple person--oops, there are no more purple people; the purple-people-eater ate them all--make that on an orange person. Laughing

Ya' know, if I had clones of myself, I would try out different hairstyles and colors on them before I jumped in and made a mistake that would haunt me for the rest of my life (in the form of photos that my family would never let me live down).

I would go to church meetings and send my clones to various jobs. I would spend a lot of time at home with my daughter.

...Wouldn't be all bad......

Love, Luv Very Happy
