Cloning yourself

Would you clone yourself & raise the child? Let's assume you can pay whatever the cloning & birth costs but then your income is whatever it is now.

No, would negate the point of evolution and do more harm then good. Life needs to change.

"I would be a perfect delight to raise."
You persist in pretending the cloned child will be you. It will not. It will be a distincty different person who started with the same DNA yet NOT YOU.

Evolution has a point???

 

No, because I would treat the child as me. I would expect certain things that I shouldn't. I wouldn't be fair to the child.

 

For me it does.

 

You couldn't be objective because the child started with a copy of your DNA?

 

What is it?

 

To better adapt us to our habitats.

 

WHO is attempting this???

Not to diminish the value of pets in the least but it is not the same thing. I don't see why you don't see it.

Whatever that means.
The child, tho starting with the same DNA, will be different. To be the same as you, it would have to live the same life you did, eat the same things you did, experience the exact things you did, etc etc etc

 

don't worry, i understand.but congratulations.

 

It will also develope in a different womb at a different time under far different conditions.

 

As soon as it becomes available those who can afford it will do it...clone themselves.

We already see how some parents try to live vicariously through their children, how they delight in observing their own eyes or their cheekbones in a younger version of themselves.

For myself, no...I have very bad genes.

 

Slightly off topic - sorry, but: in a world where genetically engineering children is the accepted form of species propagation will gingers exist?

 

Why not?

 

i guess it's just the intuition that apparently undesirable traits will die out...

but maybe there will be a point where gingerness will be so rare as to be an exceptionally exotic rare and therefore desirable trait. then everybody will want to be a ginger.

 

I certainly hope so...Ive got lots of em.
