Cloning's ok...I don't believe in souls, so that wouldn't be a problem for me. I don't believe in god, so 'playing god' wouldn't be a problem, either.

But I wonder who would like to have a clone? That would mean several things:

1. You wouldn't be unique any more
2. You'd watch yourself go through puberty (who the hell'd like that?)
3. Your clone will inevitably be a lot younger than you...where's the fun in that? You'll never be equal.
4. Producing kiddies the natural way is way more fun (both the long hours of practicing and the one nookie that actually gets the job done)


I am worried about the mental state of a clone, though. We all know adopted children usually go through some kind of identity crisis at some time. Imagine the crisis a clone would have to go through?
