| Hypothetical: would you clone yourself to save yourself?
Here's the hypothetical:
a new procedure is created whereby people with terminal diseases can have themselves cloned and the clone will not have the disease. Moreover, the procedure allows every memory and learned behavor/skill/whatever that is in your brain to be copied to the clone's brain. IE, the clone will behave exactly as you would behave.
Your clone can go on as you living your life, providing for your family, working at your job, etc. and no one can possibly detect the difference.
But the real you will still die from your disease.
Would you do it? |
