It would absolutely be you. Exactly the same, in most ways. I am a strong believer that we inherit a lot of our personality from our parents, genetically. To this day the way I walk, talk and move reminds my mother of my father. My father died when I was nine and my parents separated when I was six. A lot of the adult things I do remind her of him. We even write the same. Right handed, but with a left handed slant to it. Our 7's are exactly the same, very distinct.
Not only do I look just like my father, but I act just like him too. (according to my mother, who's fond of saying: You like lookin' down that straight arrogant nose at the rest of the world, CONTRARY!... just like your father)
So, no the exact thought patterns would be different, but a lot of the subconscious idiosyncrasies would be the same. Environment is very relevant to delevopment, but not the be all and end all. Genetics and parents have a lot to do with it too. So, I would assume that a lot of personality traits you have would be inherited by your clone.
That being said, I still think cloning is a good thing.
That last post should have said "in many ways" rather than "most ways"
Don't misunderstand. I do not subscribe to the theory that if you cloned Hitler, we'd get the same world conquring madman we had the first time around. Not at all. But, his clone would not only look just like him, but could possibly also have the same personality quirks that the original did. I'm not saying it'll be the exact same person, just that a lot of personality is passed on from parent to child or original host to clone, presumably
DB, you only proved yourself wrong trying to say that things aren't worth worrying about and that you will not obsess and you refuse to get upset, simply by having made that reply. If it were true, you wouldn't have come back here to say anything.
"as well as being someone who obviously dosen't give a damn about people"
Now, THAT is just an insult, and hasty and utterly incorrect one at that. I won't stand for such an unjustified attack against ANY member and on a personal note I am grossly insulted that you could possibly interpret what I say like that.
I have already warned you once in this thread, Dagon. Now you are continuing with disruptive and offensive behaviour, and did not keep things on topic like I clearly asked. This is now an official warning. Post like that again and you will receive a ban.
I am all for clonning. We are getting better and better at it. So why stop? (deos anybody really beleive that theos Reliens really clonned humans?) The 1st perfect clone was not done in the first try. more like the 100th. but the seconde was done in like 75 tries. The people who are afraid of lets say clonning hitler and going into WW3, no prob. He won't even be like that. Because see, the way you are raised has a lot to do with your beleifs. That is why, most kids born in a familly without god, have no say in religion and most don't even want to know more. But lets say, you clone Einstein, then he will be smart. Scientist studied his brain(no joke) and discovered that it went 5 times faster then any average brain. It all depends. We could also clone extinct speacieas. (maybe no like Jurrasic Park, tho it WOULD be fun to see a veloceraptor around) Like the dodo bird or the tazmanian tiger. We could also help dieing specease like the Peragreen falcon or the tiger. It is for the good of every one.
Alos, we CAN clone organs. Lets say some one needs a liver transplant, but has no compatible donars. then that is when a cloned liver would be usefull. Clonning can possibly be the answer for green peace in the aide of animals, or just medical science. Cloning IS the answer.
