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?



1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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?
- An American Crone (not 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.

1. Yes, because I'd love to see me from other people's point of view.
3. 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!
