If/when cloning is mastered, are you in?

[Guest Downhome]

I'm not talking about the process of just making a new version of you to raise as your child. I mean the process of one day cloning your body, and transfuring your thoughts and the such into the new, younger body of yourself. If/when they ver master that, would you piss on the idea and call is something that shouldn't be done, or would you take it as a good thing and have it done to you, just in hopes of living "eternally?

 

Or hell, even what we could do now. Would you have yourself cloned, or are you TOTALLY against it, no matter what?

 

Sincerely,

...Downhome...

Right. I'm not sure, the idea of not dying pleases me. But it just doesn't feel right.

 

 

Now if I could make a copy of myself I'd just kick his/my own ass and then live my life normally as it could be.

[Guest Big Poppa Popick]

really, the only way i can see cloning allowing for my future survival is if i use the clone for spare parts

 

somethings just not right, and eventually clones will figure that out

 

bad things

 

id rather just live 80 and die

[Guest Johnson1620]

Logically you have to assume that souls don't exsist, so the clone wouldn't have one either.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

When and if cloning is mastered, I would do it. Living forever is the life for me. Honestly I don't have as much of a problem with "playing God" as a lot of people. Any sort of artificial, or scientific enhancement doesn't particularly bother me. I'd get cybernetic body parts. Transer my consciousness to a computer if it came down to it. It's all cool with me, as long as I know it works.

[Guest Big Poppa Popick]

i think id get bored,

 

unless i was followed around by a gaggle of hot women who wanted me

 

then i dont think i would be bored

[Guest Incandenza]

I've already had a clone made. His name is Danny Gregory. HE MAY'VE BEEN ON THIS BOARD FIRST, BUT I'M OLDER THAN HIM!

[Guest DrTom]

No. Death is part of the natural cycle of life, and I wouldn't extend it by having a new me grown in a lab. I don't believe in souls, so no worries there... I'd just rather die when it's my time than try to achieve in vitro immortality.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

I'm all bout-it bout-it. This planet NEEDS an incarnation of me!!!

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'd clan two other me's, and make a band.

[Guest Mole]

I wouldn't want a clone of me, that would be weird.

 

I have no problem with that "playing GoD" thing either. If anything, I hope cloning can help make new body parts for people.

 

Since it is hard to come across a donor half of the time, I believe cloning a body part would be very usefull. If someone who had cancer on their liver needed a new liver, they could use cloning to make a new liver for that person.
