Would you want another you?

Postby Chain Mailer on Wed Jul 28, 2004 7:29 pm

Not just a doppleganger or a twin but a total whole clone of yourself. Would you want to meet and talk to you?
I know, a pretty random thread, came up in a 'deep' drunken conversation :)
Do you think you'd both be great mates? Or kill each other in 5 minutes. Would you be able to solve your biggest dilemmas? or just fuck them up even more? :s
Thoughts people, please :)

Well, it would certainly help to have two of me to get past Computer Science practicals.

I would hate me. I mean, I don't hate myself, but I'd hate another one of me if I met one. I always avoid people with whom I feel I have too much in common; they make me terribly uncomfortable.

I don't want me to exist, let alone two of me.

One for the week, one for Sunday best.

Aren't we all a happy bunch.

you could kill yourself & appreciate the artistic quality. however, in that case most of the artistic quality would be lost in that you would be around to appreciate it.

if you were a valued individual then perhaps the world would benefit from another you. i think my gut reaction to cloning is not a favourable one so given a choice i'd perhaps say no. if there was another one of me, i suppose i'd try to learn to live with the idea & who knows what would happen.

murdering your clone would be an odd situation. you can imagine a court case where one clone argues that it was merely a form of suicide, which in some countries may be a good idea to argue in such a way.

at least someone will laugh at my jokes other than myself. still laughing at my "acute angle" joke in another thread.

I laughed at the angle joke... ;)
It would certainly solve the "nobody understands me" crisis (not that I EVER...)
Oh who am I kidding?
I'm delightful. Clone away, mad cloners.

It'd be useful to have an organ donor (or clone) hanging around in case i ever got involved in a motorcycle accident.

My clone would probably annoy me from time to time, but at least there'd be someone else to share my sense of humour.

A clone of my own

Postby StrangeQuark on Thu Jul 29, 2004 9:43 am

I think I would find a clone annoyingly predictable. I would get right on my tits. I may even end up in a fight with my clone and beat myself to death.
