What about if it was a strictly biological clone and had a different upbringing?

Then by the time it was old enough to be legal I'd be way too old to want to date it.

But if we're imagining some entity conjured into existence at my age, that somehow has my genes, plus a sex change, plus a lifetime of different experiences making it a distinct person who just has a lot in common with me...then still probably not, since there's no particular reason to believe we'd even get along, and a fair number of reasons to believe I'd make a pretty weird-looking dude.

So...much...hair!

Technically, for your clone to be exactly the same as you, the entire world would need to be created. Everything that ever happened to or around you, in the exact order that it happened. Which means that everyone else would need to be recreated exactly the same, all the way back to the origin of all life.

But what if my clone were created at the age I am now? Would it basically be a blank slate, or have all my memories? I obviously haven't done a huge amount of clone research.

According to what research I've done (for a couple projects), that isn't even possible. Assuming they could clone it at your age, it would be a completely blank slate unless they gave it experiences.

We'd pretend to like each other while plotting how to kill the other. Two of me would be frightening.

Honestly I would, mainly because it would probably be the least complicated relationship I'd ever have, and I'm already best friends with someone who is basically a female clone of myself. The only reason we're not dating is that she's a lesbian and is dating my other best friend.

yes...

You know, given how hairy my father is, a sex-changed version of me probably would be pretty damn fuzzy, so combined with the cloned bits, I'd basically be dating Cousin Itt.

Yes I would. He/she would be one of the few people I know who doesn't get upset in a relationship over trivial reasons.

Clone as in exactly the same at creation, but will develop on its own later on, or clone as in it will be exactly like me for its entire life? The former, sure, the latter, no.

And here I was thinking the opposite. I'd be quite curious to see how I might have turned out if I had a more positive or healthy upbringing without some of the hardships.

I was raised in a good home with few hardships in spite of my parents' limited income, and I turned out as badly as a future double master's earner can be. As dark as my mind is now, I'd hate to see what would have happened in a troubled upbringing.

I already am dating a clone of me I think...only in terms of our thoughts though, she is much more attractive

It would be interesting...
Really fun, b/c they would like everything I would like, but we would fight a lot...

But I'm sure the make up sex would be awesome.

Maybe, I think I'd have to get to know her first.

by **Indeos** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 9:47 pm

I'm fairly sure that if it were a male clone, we'd be going to the E.R. a lot. And one of us would probably die.

No, I wouldn't. If I were an Anthrosaur though...

I said "If", and I'm not one who'd blab what he'd do with his female clone if we were both Anthrosaurs.

Dear god NO.

I'm dominant.

Dominant and dominant? NOT going to go well.

I can tolerate only one of me.

Lost five bucks. I naturally do stupid things and generally get my S.O. to talk me out of them, so if my S.O. was me that wouldn't happen.

Other guy lost $10. Do I get this money?
