Yourself, On making clones of
Go find a mirror or fire up your webcam and look at yourself for five minutes. Seriously, I am not going anywhere.
Back? Now if you are like most people you probably found dozens of things wrong with your appearance and would consider yourself to be hideous12. Now consider having a bunch identically hideous people walking around. Why would you ever want to do that to the world?
Also have you considered that one clone might try to take your place? What if in some sort of crazy action scene your partner will not know whether to shoot you or the clone? What if your clone makes a sex tape and sends it to your entire family as a Christmas card? All these situations are not only possible, but have happened on clone themed movies of the week released back in 19963.
The only safe way to create a clone is to make them incredibly stupid, but the problem with that is that obviously they will only be good for manual labor and organ harvesting. I am pretty sure that creating them for manual labor would not be cost effective, and even a new kidney is probably cheaper than growing and raising a clone of your own.
So please do the world a favor and spend your cash on something more important like unlicensed monkey boxing.
