Clone Suicide????
I think it's supposed to be a joke, but I think it brings up an interesting and fun question of ethics.
If you were able to clone yourself, and you took your clone to the top of a building, stripped all his clothes off and pushed him off over the edge... Would it be? 1. murder 2. suicide 3. just another obscene clone fall My answer? #3 I think technically, it would still be murder. I wonder if I'd be jealous of my own clone? Can someone with some experience answer this?

Some experience? Yeah, I've stripped a clone of myself of all of his clothes and pushed him off the roof of a building, you know, for testing purposes. For instance, would I scream as my clone fell X number of stories or would he?
No, but seriously, I think that would still be murder. |

What about an identical twin? How are they any different from clones other than conception time?

birth time what I'm wondering is, if you cloned yourself, then had sex with your clone, would that be fucking yourself?
