Would you want to be cloned?

Questions
1. Would you want to be cloned?
2. What would you do with your clone?
3. Would you want to have anyone else cloned?
4. Who? And what would you do with him or her?

You bet. There's no-one
in the world with my terrific jeans, er,
I mean, genes. Imagine being born with
my gifts for music and humor, plus a great
head of naturally curly hair. |

Well, I'm a bit old to raise
her myself, so I'd try to find the best
couple I could to raise her -- preferably
in a bilingual situation. Of course, first
they'd have to be subjected to psychological
testing (to make sure they're not as crazy
as my parents), and then they'd have to
pass an intensive child-raising course
so she'd turn out better than me. |

I'm afraid it's too late
to clone a Brad Pitt who would be my age!
(sigh) |
| 4. |
You have to ask what I'd
do with Brad Pitt? |

clone), U.S.A. |

I wouldn't like to make a clone of myself. I
feel that another me in the world would lessen
my individual importance. Maybe it's easier
to kill people then, because there always will
be an alternative me! Also, there's already
a population problem. I don't like to make clones
of anybody for the same reason.

Yes, because I'd love to
see me from other people's point of view. |

OK, I guess I could clone
my husband. |
| 4. |
Well, you know, if I got
two of my husband, one could stay home
and do my laundry while another one could
go out and earn money for me! |
